They tend to be the same systems we've been using for 10 years and don't have anywhere near the functionality that's necessary. An Open Source option is one of those things I spend forever looking for. The best system I've come across so far is the one we use for the Discworld Convention (http://dwcon.org) created by Quirm.net It handles membership (including one person registering on behalf of several people), accommodation (we only use one hotel however), programme scheduling and more. Perhaps you could get in touch with them about contributing - I know they already produce other stuff under GPL.
