While there are many open source repositories using CVS, SVN, and git, I'd like to know if there are any built atop Perforce, as I've been happily using that for CM at home for many years now.
Perforce provides a public depot, but the projects hosted there appear to be strongly Perforce-oriented. What I'm working on has nothing to do with Perforce, I just like their product. The company provides a free license for hosting an open source project, but I have no interest in maintaining my own server out on the web.

Get Free Version Control Software From Perforce. Helix Core is free for up to 5 users & 20 workspaces. You can start small and scale.
Perforce has already open sourced other popular clients including P4Perl, P4Ant and P4Win. “Open source has been part of our DNA since the company's inception.
Perforce's package repositories allow simplified installation of Perforce products and product updates on popular Linux platforms.
If you work in automotive, aerospace, financial services, game development, medical device or semiconductor, Helix Core from Perforce is the right VCS for you.
I don't think public hosting currently aligns with Perforce's business model.
If you take a look at their licensing agreement, linked from here:

... you'll notice that it's only valid for one year, anyway. If you want to "go public" with your code, you might consider trying an import utility, such as p42svn:
