Sustainable open source contributions in your business
summary
Company policy sets 32 billable hours so one weekday is reserved for nonbillable work and explicit rules like the 20% rule let teams spend one day a week on maintenance, docs and bug fixes; engineers contribute to concrete projects such as phpunit and phpdocumentor, run events (Wecamp, conference.online) and invoice higher rates so four billable days pay for the fifth. Success requires full stakeholder buy in, realistic pricing and reserves; without those contributions stop when sales demand full capacity.
