freessl.com is definitely cool.  They provide a solid service, and at a
good rate.  I highly recommend them over VeriSign/Thawte.

However, for Open Source developers, it looks like there's another
choice, too.  GoDaddy has started offering *free* SSL Certificates to
Open Source Projects.

Here's the press release:

And here's the actual page for signing up:

I've been hosting most of my domain names with GoDaddy for a couple of
years now, and I'm really impressed that they're doing this.  I like it
when I'm supporting companies that support Free Software.
