If I may suggest. What may work is to start with tackling the business sector so that whatever projects that you may go out on, you stand a commercial chance at some point in uptake. At the end of the day, software is a product therefore it will get treated as one i.e subject to stiff competition if you offer it or services commercially. Ask yourself what is so special about Sugar-CRM and the rest?
For example, my target is purely the network layer that is ISPs, content providers, hosting providers and possibly telco market towards generating more local traffic at SOHO, SME level. Think systems, then build applications. Eg financial systems, reporting systems or whatever your fancy. Because projects are things that are not your main source of income, they are long term goals but need to get done. They will be a mix of free and commercial aspects. Whatever the market needs as a real necessity/dependency can be free eg a proper school management system ( inspiration drawn from open source ) and whatever the market needs as a value added service eg database query system are commercial. ( inspiration drawn from commercial systems )
My suggestion.
