In general, I'd describe our finances as "don't have a lot of money, but don't need a lot of money." We don't have anything that way pay regularly, but we do get in money from GSoC and Packt and donations. Generally we've used that kinda ad hoc for things as they've come up.
Most of what we'd have as costs otherwise are gotten through free services. We use Launchpad and Sourceforge for a lot of our server costs. The Conservancy donates its services to us. SFLC did the work for the trademark for us. etc. etc.
I think that we should probably come up with some ideas both on the generating and spending side of finances, but we don't have any today. Proposals welcome!
