“Maybe we could commit one engineering-day per month for contributing back to OSS libraries we use heavily”
This could be more disruptive than helpful as very few engineers would contribute much one day a month. Would you hire a developer for 1 day per month? They would more likely burden the experienced developers with questions and poor code submissions that need to be reviewed and then forget what they learned a month before.
