You might consider a "Portal Server," though setting these things up can
be tricky.

Liferay is one in particular that is open source. I don't believe it's
been packaged for Ubuntu, but there is a VMWare image which can be run
in the VMWare player that's avaiallbe for Ubuntu in the multiverse. 

The vmware image is mentioned here:
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/devzone/forums/message_boards/message/26624
and availabel in the 4.2.1 release here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=49260&package_id=42607


I haven't set this up myself, but some of my coworker have used it.
