Jason,
The Zimbra folks are very helpful. It is a replacement for Exchange and is
commercial open source. I haven't deployed it though. I also use Web
Calendar although I'd like to see a few more improvements such as a nicer
listing when we have multiple simultaneous events. I find it much more
appropriate than Exchange for its being made for the web and external web
consumption.
Other things to check out are PHP iCalendar (phpicalendar.net) as well as
the groupwares: E-Groupware has calendaring but also can integrate with
Exchange through the eGWOSync plugin. I'm not sure if that integration
includes with Exchange calendars.
My $.02,
Tim
