They're very thin on the ground, especially ones with Gantt capability.

There's a dedicated Gantt generator, I forget it's name. However the big player in the field is OpenWorkbench.

Its biggest limitation has so far been poor MS Project compatability, but they were making moves to address this last time I looked and that was 18 months ago. Aside from that issue, it's a solid piece of software. Requires java IIRC.
