Packt publishing just announced earlier this morning that Drupal has won the 2009 Open Source PHP CMS award!
Packt Publishing is pleased to announce that Drupal has won the Best Open Source PHP CMS Category in the 2009 Open Source CMS Award. This category featured a very close contest between the top three, Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla! in which Drupal ended up as the overall choice for the judges and the public.
Joomla was the second place winner (kudos to them as well!); read the original release here.
With Drupal being used on Whitehouse.gov, AT&T's mobile apps website, and countless other corporate sites and subsites, it's a good time to be in the Open Source arena!
More award categories will be announced soon!

We are very excited. We need to pat our backs that we have a solid team that has executed over 100 Drupal projects.
Strangely, how come Wordpress get in there? Its more of a blog tool. From CMS definition, it meets the criteria but its not truely a CMS.
