It seems that Kickstarter calls Open Source "Open Software" http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/open%20software

howto follow only Open Source projects? I don't wish to invest in Closed Source.

What do you mean by "follow"? How do you want to follow it? Please explain. – user 99572 is fine Feb 11 at 21:48
I means something like RSS feed or mail notifications. I wish to get updates when new Open Source projects start a Kickstarter action – fyodor78 Feb 12 at 8:32

You can track open source projects by visiting the open source tag: http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/tags/open-source?ref=sidebar#p1

However, tracking via RSS does not work, at least not in Google Reader. There are RSS feed only for all projects or individual projects (see this link: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer%20questions#ProfSett):

RSS feeds for Kickstarter

The notification settings in your account don't allow any specific tracking either:

You may be able to set up tracking changes with a software like Website Watcher. You can test in a 30-day trial if it works for you.

Apart from that, either wait & see or send a suggestion to the Kickstarter team.
