Just wondering what different institutions are using in terms of open source IDS/IPS, and there heartaches or success 
stories that go along with them. 

I'm not at The Ohio State University anymore, but I set up a rather large Bro-IDS (http://www.bro-ids.org/) cluster 
there that  provided huge benefits to us during incident response.  We were also able to detect activity that 
signature-only IDS are unable to detect.

I still participate heavily in the project and if you are interesting in learning more about Bro I'd be glad to lend a 
hand. :)
