Thanks -- Apache and Firefox are not .NET tools, though, so they won't really work for this.

1. Subversion/TortiseSVN
2. Apache – Usefull for so much more than just hosting websites
3. log4net
4. Lucene.NET – Speed kills!
5. Subsonic
6. Postgresql – best open source database server
7. Firefox

Please don’t pick Sandcastle – it sucks and contributed to the demise of NDoc.

Esper is an event stream processing system. Think of it as the ability to create a query and be notified when new events satify the query in realtime. Aside from simple patterns, it can do complex and temporal pattern matching. — http://esper.codehaus.org

LinFu is a framework by Philip Laureano … it creates a very simple interface for a number of advanced concepts like interception, aspect weaving, and dynamic object modeling. It’s a very nice framework that drops nicely into most projects. His framework is in pieces on CodeProject and/or his blog.

log4net
Ghostdoc — thank you Roland
NUnit
Sandcastle
DB4O
LinFu
Nesper –> It’ll be cooler when it supports LINQ

Shame we cant add reflector in here, but sadly its not open source.

Thanks, everybody, for your valuable recommendations. There is a lot of great information here.By the way, no need to repeat a recommendation here if it's already been mentioned elsewhere in the comments. I'll take a look at everything, but in the end I'm going to make random and subjective choices for what to include in the talk based on whether it seems appropriate (and whether I can work up a demo for it over the next few weeks).

I'll second:CruiseControl.NET NMock NUnit NAnt (though Microsoft rained on that parade) DotNetNuke (it's interesting that only one other comment shared DNN. You can't argue w/600K users, VB.NET or otherwise) JQuery
