Look at CiviCRM.

"CiviCRM is the first open source and freely downloadable constituent
relationship management solution. CiviCRM is web-based, open source,
internationalized, and designed specifically to meet the needs of
advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups."

http://CiviCRM.org/

That's what we're using for LOPSA.

I don't know about OpenBase, but the writer component can read from
OpenBase and handle labels. I would think that label generation, etc.
would also be available via a web app. You should at least be able to call
a command line program to create PDFs.
