Open Text did host a <a href="http://www.opentext.com/2/global/press-release-details.html?id=2101" rel="nofollow">Web 2.0 in government conference in September</a> and they also signed a <a href="http://www.opentext.com/2/global/press-release-details.html?id=2125" rel="nofollow">contract with the New South Wales government</a> in Australia. I wonder if what they are delivering to the Canadian government will look anything like the Enterprise 2.0 initiatives described in their <a href="http://www.opentext.com/2/global/press-release-details.html?id=2129" rel="nofollow">October 2008 press release</a> or as <a href="http://www.opentext.com/2/global/press-release-details.html?id=2068" rel="nofollow">described here</a> ?

Any word on what Open Text will be delivering in their seven year contract with the feds? Seems to me that most of the functionality they describe is available with a solid commercially supported open source CMS like <a href="http://drupal.org" rel="nofollow">Drupal</a>.
