50% is probably a percentage that may be too high for most companies to afford, but I think that 1 day a week for solid companies and 1 day every 2 weeks for emerging companies should become the minimum standard for companies using open source heavily in their business. My 2 cents. |

| Thanks for reaching out! I'd be more interested in a company that supports the open source community more: whether it be donating to important projects that the company uses (like on opencollective.com), contributing developer time during work hours to fix bugs, report issues, even maintain a project, or even doing a matching donation similar to a non-profit (maybe give $50 a month to employees for them to choose). If you have any questions about that I'd be happy to explain. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
That sounds like you could still be interested in the offer. What if the recruiter says yes?

@nemesisdesign I don't think I had the number 50% in this PR anywhere but I included 50% in my personal email because that's what I have now (unrelated to making a generic email here) |

So I was thinking about how I never respond to recruiter emails, and how their way of try to appeal to me is a bit lacking:
work on some framework, create a new framework, be a senior dev/cto, etc. Personally I was just thinking a bit about how companies can change to better support open source, so why not respond back with some suggestions/help?
Can suggest:
Maybe we can come up with a better-edited response that a lot of us can use when we aren't interested but would like to provide feedback about supporting open source?
Not really should how it should go, so making a PR so people can leave comments/suggestions/etc? I don't know 😅, figured it's worth a shot
