Citrix have open sourced their recently acquired cloud management platform 'Cloudstack'. It apparently supports multiple hypervisors: Xen, KVM, Vmware ESXi
The install guide is worth a read even if you're not considering installing it as it goes over some 'best practice' config for storage, networking setup etc.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

the cloud.com stack has always been open - and as far as I know, citrix are actually moving to try and close up some parts of it ( based on conversations around beer, please verify! )

I have deployed cloud.com for testing purposes, its quite nice. At the time ( early 2011 ) it was also the only complete end to end cloud setup that actually worked for private, offline instances.
only real issue I had was that its quite resource intensive and targets fairly new hardware ( ie: lots of resources )
