Packt's "Author of the Year Award" a good chance for promoting Drupal

Packt Publishing is running an Author of the Year Award for books published in 2008. They've been big supporters of Drupal, and published a half-dozen books on Drupal last year (with at least that many coming out this year). The Open Source Acquisitions editor tells me that they are really enthusiastic about Drupal as a rising star in the Open Source world.

They are asking the community to vote on best authors/books of 2008. This might be a good opportunity to get Drupal in front of a wider audience. I added a story to the News/Announcements forum figuring this would be a good front page post.

Here's the forum post:
