Many people in the open source community agree that more economic fairness in the open source ecosystem could help users and developers alike. Increasingly, big tech companies are waking up to the concept, as seen in the hefty cash prizes that Google awarded top developers in its Android Developer Challenge. Now, a new venture capital-driven effort is taking shape that will ask for community participation in identifying startup companies to invest in. Dubbed VenCorps, Webware has an interesting analysis of it. I'm betting that some of the capital will go to open source developers.
