Hasty Generalisation

I bought a water pistol for my neighbour's boy and he didn't like it. Therefore, little boys do not like water pistols.

I setup a grant to fund an OSS project and they didn't touch a cent. Therefore, money is useless to OSS projects.

This is an example of hasty generalisation. Just because a few project failed to touch that grant money does not mean that all OSS projects in general will find that money to be useless. A better title would have been "Open Source .Net Projects Didn't Touch My Grant".
