This is how I envisage what I would call "public facing" (websites etc) open source projects making money. Do you think this idea of trying to provide the best form of service translates to applications, through regular updates and support for users?

many opensource application developers make money from selling auxiliary services (eg premium support) or training workshops around their products. this is particularly a good idea if your target market are developers.
