Apparently over at YouTube.  We embedded some video from the show and it's gone crazy with views.

http://www.joomla.org/content/view/2165/74/ scroll to the bottom and click the video

Within 24 hours it was:

#11 - Most Viewed (Today) - Science & Technology - All
#9 - Most Viewed (Today) - Science & Technology - English

Result

The final result, as voted for by judges from The Open Source Collective, MySQL, the Eclipse Foundation, and 16,000 users on http://www.PacktPub.com saw a tie for first place between Joomla! and Drupal. In the event of a tie, a fourth independent judge would be brought in. This was Apoorv Durga who is a member of CMSPros and runs his own blog [http://apoorv.info/] on portals and content management. This crucial vote ended up with Joomla! triumphing over Drupal by one point.

The final result was as follows:

1. Joomla!- $5,000
2. Drupal - $3,000
3. Plone - $2,000
