Moodle
Moodle is an open source learning management system, available for download at http://www.moodle.org.
I spend about 15% of my time working on Moodle, debugging problems and implementing new features, with most of that work being done during the summer months and the first week or two of each semester. This page serves as an index of my Moodle-related projects and debugging efforts.
