Also "hula": www.hula-project.org

This is open-source, and seems to have some sort of sponsorship with
Novell.

As part of your assesessment, remember to check how active development is.
I've got a vague recollection that one of the open-source products (can't
remember which) might be dormant.  Even if something was 99.9% complete a
year ago, if there's no active development now, then addressing future
troubles might be problematical.
