.org is mainly perceived to stand for non-profit organizations,
so it seems a perfect match for your open source efforts,
but for the registrar stuff it could be seen as misleading.
it's sympathetic to avoid the .com for what you do,
and .net is used for commercial network-operations since years,
so it could be a nice fit.
