I'm sure about it.
If I may share my opinion, the OSGeo foundation is on the right way to
play a very important role(s) in the Open Source GIS and QGIS should
join it as representing user-friendly desktop GIS.
At the moment, as I see, most of OSGeo projects are dev tools and web
mapping projects.
So, QGIS would definitely find its niche there :-)

I have some, but not yet published.
There is also a big gallery on the FOSS4G webist:

You're welcome! I hope it will fit you or some other QGIS geek well :-)
