Paul Ramsey (a geospatial developer) has an amusing presentation relating to funding open source projects. It's covered in a talk he's given a few times: "Beyond nerds bearing gifts:The Future of the Open Source Economy"

There is a version here:

There should be other versions online, but it has ages since I last looked.

Enjoy!
