I am helping out, and possibly at one point working for, a federal contractor who is switching a federal agency's sites over to Drupal, and needs to know which companies are handling hosting service for federal Drupal sites in addition to Acquia. And, in fact, this seems to also be a good thing to know.
Feel free to contact me at email3@pbzproductions.com. Many thanks!

Hot thread about merits of Drupal in Government over at Knight News Challenge...
Hi folks,
A couple of weeks ago we submitted a proposal to the Knight News Challenge (http://kng.ht/16Fw8w6) for free hosted open data portals for local government based on our DKAN Drupal Distro (http://drupal.org/project/DKAN). The submission made the front page of the contest based on "applause," and got some nice press coverage (http://bit.ly/10Gp7Zj), which has drawn enough interest to ignite a bit of a flame war about the merits, or lack thereof, of Drupal for government. Please do weigh in as you see fit! :)
Best,
Andrew

We're going to be making incremental changes over the next few weeks, looking to get back together in early- to mid-November.
