Within Wikimedia CH, this is an idea that we have discussed a few years ago: how can we support software and other communities that our community depends on, while avoiding to just give away money. In the end, we supported financially one edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting.
That's a great choice! LGM is a fantastic meeting and directly relates to tools that support content contributors in our projects.
As an aside, coming back to software, I have noted that the WMF gets gets a special thank you note on the git-annex web page (https://git-annex.branchable.com/thanks/); is it a tool that has been supported financially ? (and, I assume, a tool that the WMF uses regularly) ?
As I recall we contracted with Joey (the maintainer) to do some development work that relates to the git-based deployment tooling we use for some services.
