What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I'd like to help if I can.
I'm also looking for projects only related to FOSS, or "in-the-spirit" of FOSS.

SFC ("Software Freedom Conservancy") is doing good work on a legal front that may well result in a lot more consumer electronic devices (like smart TVs) having fully FOSS OSs available.

This is fascinating as I didn't even know about it for one, and for two it's based on having legal standing as a customer of the product, not the developer of the GPL code. I'll be interested to see where this goes.
For real. I've been anxiously awaiting developments, but it seems that no more developments are likely to happen until September.
