Python wins Linux New Media Award for Best Open Source Programming Language

Hello all,
Not sure if this is the same as the LinuxQuestions award, but it looks different: (German) http://www.linux-magazin.de/news/cebit_2009_openstreetmap_erntet_zwei_linux_...
I particularly like this snippet from the google translation:
The prize was Martin von Löwis of the Python Foundation on behalf of the Python community itself.

All the best,

This is a funny translation from German-to-English. :-)
But yeah, a good one and the prize was presented by Kluas Knooper of Knoppix.
Congratulations!

Actually, the prize went to "Python", not to me, and not to the PSF. So congratulations to you as well!
It was a nice ceremony; among the 200 jurors, Python was elected "Best Open Source Programming Language" by a very clear distance to the second place.
Regards, Martin

The (translated) article says that YOU are the prize? WOW.
Ummm... better not to use automatic translator for anything mission critical.

Congratulations! There is already a proper English version of press release at http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/cebit_2009_openstreetmap_wins_two_... so new link can probably be changed. The article still doesn't mention competitors.
