It's called OpenBlah, it has many features: HDTV streaming, 96Khz/24 sampling lossless encoding at 120:1 compression ratio, peer-to-peer real-time updates without restarting and an undelrying small-talk based OS with a korn shell! It's still under heavy developement (they just hit the planning milestone) but surely will it kick evil, closed-format Skype's ass like there's no tomorrow.

Before releasing it, it better have a simple name like Wengo or Rype.
I think the word Open in the first bit of every free OS software is going to hinder adoption by the unwashed masses.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
