In the Open Source CMS category, we're up against Joomla!, Mojoportal, Plone, SilverStripe and their communities, so it's important to spread the word. Winning only helps the the project and the community by bringing more attention to Drupal.
Previously Drupal has been very successful in the Open Source Awards:
2010: 2nd Place, Open Source CMS Hall of Fame
2009: 1st Place, Best PHP Open Source CMS & Induction into the Hall of Fame
We're proud to announce that Drupal Association members now have a little more to look forward to: discounts from Anolim and O'Reilly! These two deals are added to offers from Acquia, ActiveState, NeoSpire, New Relic, Varnish Software & Zend. You can always stay on top of current member deals by checking https://association.drupal.org/membership/benefits.
Packt Publishing, the company behind many well-known Drupal books, is also responsible for the Open Source Awards, an annual online event held to distinguish excellence among open source projects. Winners of this competition receive cash awards that go to support their projects.
This morning a post was mis-fired on the Association News Feed. Sorry about that! Even though we're gearing up to make DrupalCon London the biggest and best European DrupalCon ever, it was asking for volunteers for next year's European DrupalCon, but the post got a few things wrong.
Drupal will be represented at this year's O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland next week. If you're attending, make sure to stop by the Drupal booth #206 in the convention hall on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! We've been able to work with local volunteers to make sure they have the supplies needed to make Drupal stand out.
We all know that the Drupal Association and DrupalCon Sponsors give back to the community through scholarships, and by providing camps a fiscal structure and necessities like insurance, but it's great to hear about DrupalCon being able to give back more.
Drupal Association membership just got a little sweeter. The Drupal Association is now proud to offer its members discounts to some well-known retailers and service providers like Acquia, ActiveState, Varnish Software, and Zend. We're partnering with these companies in order to provide the people who support us something nice.
