Say I would like to host my open source software by myself, i.e. not in sourceforge or google code but host my own svn and issue tracker and documentation on my server.
What is the best software for doing that?
A lot of people like trac.
Well you'd use trac + subversion server on your own machine.
But there is assembla.com, and also xp-dev.com, if you don't like the licensing forced on you by the websites you listed.
Redmine is a nice alternative to trac.
I would recommend to host with dreamhost or webfaction. They both offer hosted svn services. For documentation, you can go with mediawiki, if you want.
Note: I'm not affiliated with those 2 host, I just use dreamhost not webfaction, but from googling the net, I found out that webfaction is better than dreamhost.
Try BitNami packages for Redmine or Trac, they are easy to use installers that you can run on your server (there are also virtual machines available as well)

Anyone know about places in the cloud where you can create (virtual) machines (like Amazon EC2) to use for your computing tasks - places that offer a number (at least 5-10) of free machines, if they are used for testing open source projects?
Im not looking for places hosting CI environments like Jenkins, Hudson, TeamCity etc. for free for open source projects. Im looking for a place where I can run some servers where I can setup the open source system itself in a clustered and distributed environment. Then drive a test against that clustered and distributed environment from an automated test (e.g. executed from a CI environment).
I think that Openshift may attend your requirements. Specially if you do not need to have an external port open apart from the http
Would AWS Free tier work for you? I realise it's not really a cluster..

I am trying to implement a client side software (a messenger) in java that uses XMPP and supports videoconferencing. For this goal I've downloaded smack and tried to work with it, so I need an xmpp java server that is open source and supports videoconferencing. Then I could connect my database to this server and use it.
Is there any server as I need?
You want XMPP with MultiMedia Jingle. But the Jingle implementation in smack is pretty old, you have to find out if it works for you. Also I think that Jingle currently only supports one-to-one video-chat, there is a multiparty Jingle XEP but it's deferred. The good news is that it's relatively server independent, all logic and negotiation is done on the client side.
If you are looking for a Java XMPP Server, give Openfire a try. Openfire is also open-source. But you don't need an Java XMPP Server just because Smack is written in java. There are many alternatives.
You are basically asking for some sophisticated solution for free/as open-source. But AFAIK no one has taken the effort to built something like that (yet). If you have the manpower, time and knowledge, you are sure welcome to contribute to the community. :)

Most open source wiki and CMS engines host user-contributed themes/plugins in directories whose code, strikingly, is not itself released as open source software. Possibly the best example is WordPress' own plugin/theme directory, offering support for one-click plugin installation as well as plugin metadata, screenshots, changelogs, system requirements information, community rating, categories/tags and so on. The WordPress plugin directory is built on a collection of open source software and works as an interface to an SVN repository, allowing contributors to self-maintain their code.
Is anyone aware of an open source engine with similar features to allow the hosting and community-driven maintenance of themes and plugins?
Drupal is open source and hosts community driven themes and modules.
Sure. MEF is a great way to set up your own extensibility framework. But, it won't be a turnkey solution. You will need to tailor it to your application by providing the interfaces that the plugins will have to implement.

I always used to use Dreamweaver for web work, but now I work in Emacs, with Filezilla for non-text file uploads. What I miss from Dreamweaver is the easy synchronisation feature in its file manager. Is there any simple opensource software that would fill this gap for me?
I prefer WinSCP as an FTP/SFTP/SCP client, and it's one of the few clients I've seen that supports synchonised browsing similar to Dreamweaver. SmartFTP is another one that does this, but it's not free.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_navigate#synchronize_browsing
Aptana does that and it's opensource; however, sftp support is not free. I would say it is the one of the better alternatives to webdesign. Give it a try, I've been hooked
Another plus feature is the integration of jquery, python, php, and svn. The pro version includes sftp support and cloud hosting, and i think it's around $100

I am in the process of trying to graphically represent all of our server racks. So when we receive a new server we can decide where this should be put and where a specific servers currently resides.
Are there any existing software packages that stores this kind of data already? I'd prefer open source ones if there are any but anything would be helpful.
If you use nagios as monitoring application you could use NagVis to create custom status maps e.g. a rackview of your servers.
Example Screenshot
RackMonkey seems to fit your requirements too.
I had a look around at this and the solutions suggested (thanks Node) and at the moment my feeling are using one of the following:
NVentory though I'm not sure my company will want to use ruby and rails as this would be our first product using this
Rackview
Or more likely just MS Office Visio 2007 Add-in for Rack Server Virtualization however this looks like it only links to excel and hopefully I can use excel to query a database.
I will update when I have played about with these tools and see what they can provide.
