Also, wasn't there a FOSS4G presentation about
consulting as a way to further FOSS GIS development
and make a living at it as well?
Bit of a myth, as far as I can tell. This open source technology
wedge is still so small that the business opportunities remain
relatively tiny, particularly in North America, where the technology
base is so homogenous and the mental lock-in to a vendor-led mentality
so strong.
Not a myth in Europe (or to be more precise, at least in Germany). There
is a number of (growing) companies that have FOSS GIS consulting
business models and do pretty well.
