In the off chance that you are, it's one of the OpenOffice.org formats, inheritted from StarOffice... it's supposed to be their answer to MS PowerPoint.

helixcommunity.org is another big one... (Score:5, Informative)
It's powered by GForge [gforge.org], so it's backed by PHP and PostgreSQL [postgresql.org].
There are a bunch of other sites running GForge listed here [gforge.org]...

LAMP is php (and linux, apache, mysql) and last I checked Slashdot used mod_perl...
but it is still open source.

The most important aspect of the web is that the interface of the different layers were well defined and exposed...not that each line of code in the different layers is exposed.

I guess Amazon.com [masonhq.com] is one of those not-properly-designed websites that doesn't do anything real?

Hmmm, this post is modded up as informative, when it should really be modded down as misinformative (if only there were such an option).
Somebody please mod up one of the child posts that correct the parent by pointing out that the "P" in LAMP represents Perl, Python, or PHP. Please DON'T give me the karma, give it to those still posting at 1. Thanks.

Your assumption would be correct if it was 1 select for each page view, but since there are about 4-5 just for 1 page view (userpic, friends, info, etc) then that number is misleading.. Fortunally most of that static content is memcached and not hitting the DB's.

My bet on a fully open system would be with Python/ZOPE. It's missing a few things, but it's very eligant.
