Just looking at it at a glance, 50% of the money went to what appear to be political/activist projects/websites "masquerading" as "Open-Source", namely "Ushahidi" (194k/35%) and "RiseUp" (100k/18%). The latter only really putting their "help site" on github: https://github.com/riseupnet https://github.com/riseupnet. I don't personally count "open-source" or "any one can contribute" websites/platforms as actual open-source.
Both the above donations are individually much larger in monetary amounts than what Mozilla gave the last time around to actual "code" open-source projects (amounts: 10k, 25k, 30k, 50k) such as Tor/LLVM/etc.
Honestly, I was really excited to see what open-source projects were going to be getting some (I would assume "much needed") funding behind them, but I was disappointed with yet more politics. Except for Webpack, definitely kudos to Mozilla for funding their work on WebAssembly.
