Released their first alpha a few days ago, and you might know its (non-FOSS) predecessor Revenge of the Cats:Ethernet.
Runs on Linux and Windows. Contributers very welcome.
It's already a quite playable team-based multiplayer game. You have to capture zones and it is a bit Tribes like.
Luckily no, but cool disk weapons like in tron :p
Here is a vid with some gameplay (actually from RotC:Ethernet but it is more or less the same):

And an explanation of gameplay:

Edit: The home-page linked in the OP has a video of the actual 0.1 FOSS version.
I watched the gameplay video. Literally no idea what the hell is happening!!
Looks interesting though so I will probably take a look

Are you involved in this? I'll check it out later.

It's a totally open development model, but so far it is mainly fr1tz working on it (the original creator), but I helped set up a forum:
http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewforum.php?f=87 (I'm Julius other there) and was instrumental at convincing him to run the original successful indiegogo campaign. Now that the first alpha is out, I have also started looking at contributing some models and other art assets.

you should probably take a look at the original RotC to get an idea
Well I tried it but was just some fireball flying around.
Fly into the area controlled by your team (same color as your etherform = "fireball") and press the left mouse button to switch to normal FPS mode.
I guess a small getting started tutorial would be good
Is this still there? I can't access terminal-overload.org and it seems like the forum doesn't exists on my side: ethernet.wasted.ch doesn't work either
The freegamedev.net forums are shortly offline since our "founder" forgot to renew the domain... terminal-overload.org works over here though. Forums should be also back up within a few days at most.
Edit: all should work again now.

There is also an online server browser that alerts you if someone is playing:

Shit I was suppose to set up a public server, my bad. I'll see if I remember to this week end although the game is not build to run with out a graphical environment. I tested out Xvfb but even though it say its installed when I try to run a test session the os just tell me the Xvfb is not installed. Weird...
The website and dev forum works on my side (location: Poland).
It looks like possible to play on my GPU, and might be good fun, gonna try it, thanks!
fr1tz is also looking for a composer to aid with a dynamic music system, maybe you are interested?

Are you trying to recruit people from the xonotic team??
Tell fr1tz we're looking for engine devs.

poVoq: sounds appealing! I've done some experiments with dynamic music and that's something I'd like to investigate further.
Yep, slave trade like footballers.
New testing release with additional maps and other features is available, and there is a developer's match tonight.
New website and recent new release (0.3.1). Join a play-session in about an hour
Now supports charged jumps as a cool new game-play mechanic.

I have some problems in Linux with it like changing the weapons. Apparently is not implemented very well vs windows plus I can't connect in windows anymore. Say my client doesn't match server version or server art etc...
My server is still running.
