    I think you could make a small but reasonably effective company by taking this desire and making it something an HR department can trivially buy and communicate. Number probably needs to be tweaked down for that budget.https://twitter.com/kingersoll/status/1016803234432704512 …

    What if software companies allowed their engineers to spend some amount per year (e.g. $500) to support their favorite open source projects?

        (Observation is not about optional place to fund OSS from; it’s regarding optimal place to do this if you want to sell a product enough to make a go out of it.)

        wow, @patio11 suggesting lower dollar figures. did you read $500 as per employee or for all employees? it's ambiguous, leaning towards second meaning. i agree per employee would be high, but the other way it's low.

        Was assuming a per-employee figure. (Has to be $X0k per company or the management fee, likely 10%, never supports a real business.)

        That feels unlikely to me; feels more likely that this gets funded by whomever controls the budget for matching funds for charitable giving.

        This strikes me as a cool thing to sell but an unlikely thing to be approved at any company sophisticated enough to pay for this offering. (“You want access TO WHAT.”)

        My idea for this: Bug bounties, but pooled sort of like insurance. You need to subscribe to the plan, and you can't post a bounty for your bug until you've been paying in for X months. This lets the project actually hire.
