For the second year now we've won multiple Horizon Interactive Awards for websites we've developed.

Among the winning sites are Popular Science (Gold in the Magazine & News category), RedBlueAmerica (Silver in the Blog category and Bronze in the Magazine & News category), and Spectrum Magazine (Bronze in the Public Service category).

Of course, we developed all of these sites using Drupal, which itself just won repeat honors in the CNET Webware 100 Awards for best publishing platform.

The Drupal Content Management System and Application Framework has once again won the CNET Webware 100 Awards in the Publishing category. Drupal is in some excellent company.

Says the official announcement:

At DrupalCon Boston 2008, we had the great pleasure of winning the grand prize as the Top Showcase Site, for PopSci.com. Because we were so busy making presentations and otherwise engaged in the incredible DrupalCon sessions, winning this was an unexpected surprise. The submissions were judged by Chris Bryant, Scott Mattoon (Sun Microsystems) and Fish McGill (Harmonix). Sun posted the ad hoc post-plenary interview here.

On Friday, we stole about 10 minutes from a very busy day to unbox the Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 server that was the prize. Wow!

It's been a week since
DrupalCon Boston 2008. I started this post a week ago, but have been fighting a cold all week and am only now having the extra energy outside of work hours to write up this little summary.

The event was the largest in Drupal history (so far). We were honored to take part as Platinum Sponsors, but the event was a collaborative effort of so many companies and individuals, it was truly a community event.

Highlights:

The RDF initiative for Drupal 7 announced by Dries last week at DrupalCon Boston 2008 has been getting a lot of interesting attention.
