Source projects.
The Awards are split up into two main stages. Firstly, nominations
will begin on August 9. This is your chance to put
forward your favorite Open Source project in each category to go through
to the final stage of voting. The top five projects

 One of the big draws for me to Joomla! initially was the community support. I did not feel alone when I was jumping in. Joomla! was actually introduced to me by a coworker before it forked from mambo.
Mambo has not had a news post on its site since 2008, well that is what you get for trying to jump ship on open source.
Drupal is a great open source CMS and it is so because of a community that supports it as well as the Joomla! community. When I meet folks like Alex Fisher, I know that their expertise and decisions are not in vain... and the choice to go with Drupal makes a lot of sense.
If you want to jump into Drupal, there is a user group right around the corner, with experts like Alex waiting to help you take the next step. For all of us trying to wrangle the octopus of web design, this is invaluable. Sure you could read his blog , but here you get to ask him a question in person.

 No, this is not a mistake... in our ecumenical web design effort to be open and honest to all of the open source universe; we do sincerely promote this great CMS... but coud it really be better than Joomla!
According to the last few years of awards, Drupal has been on the top or near... in 2008 I know it took the award for best open source CMS from packt publishing.
Here is a complete listing over the past few years...
Joomla! took it the first year in 2006, but over the past 4 years... Drupal is on top...
Much of our discussion of late has been around the availability of something novel for Joomla! users, a content construction kit. Well, Drupal has had this for years and it works really well.
Drupal CCK
So if you want an award winning CMS with a really great CCK, look no further than Drupal. Unless of course, you get stuck with the tech and just want all the immediate flexibility of Joomla!
But who knows, maybe we will all be using wordpress before the day is done... they won last year!

Recording of July7th, 2010 Meetup
With the allvideos plugin this seems to playback in QT, would rather have flash... but here is the file if you want to download it.
Ok, so it is a long time coming, but here is the first of hopefully many screen-capture sessions from our monthly meetings. It is a bit long (90 minutes), but if you remember a section that was valuable, you should be able to jump around and find what you are looking for. I experimented with putting my beautiful face in the corner complete with expressive hand gestures... it communicates so much more doesn't it?
