  There were two great presentations at last years conference that
might help out. Go to http://www.omsug.ca/osgis2004/proceedings.html
and look for these topics:

Dave McIlhagga - Intro to Open Source GIS
Paul Ramsey - A Brief Survey of Open Source GIS Software 

The first focuses more on the business model behind open source and
the second  on an inventory of open source GIS projects. Between these
two, you should find something useful.
