I believe there are some governmental/EU funding going on for some OSS
projects:

Our university (University of Oslo) among others, is sponsoring an open

And I know that some OSS-project recieve alot of venture capital
investment. If you want to start your own business specializing on
Magnolia, write a good business plan, and someone might give you some
millions if their investmenet is likely to be returned. Become an
entrepeneur/gründer today :)
