If you like playing Catan, try playing it online at http://www.settlers3d.net/. It's got a worldwide following with over 1400 active players from every continent (except Antarctica), an automated ELO ranking system and a very active and friendly community.
Sea3D is an open source version of Settlers of Catan that is 100% free, has ELO ladder rated matches, 3D graphics, 1000+ active users, and really nice artwork.
I think certain genres are more suited to open source games. FPS and RTS are not in that list. Board games clones can probably cut it, though.
