I would love if the following existed:

A policy in tech companies to grant a given amount (let say 50$) per month to each employee, the employee can attribute this amount to whichever OSS project(s) he sees fit.

If the employee doesn't chose a project, this amount is given to OSS projects in need.

To streamline this, the ideal would be to have a service where everything could be done:

* OSS projects register to it

* Tech Companies then give the money to the service, which then dispatch it to the OSS projects

* Employees of tech companies logs into the service to select which projects they chose to give money to (with maybe some suggestion to avoid over/under funding projects).

Let's make that amount dependent on the employee's salary. Not 50$ per employee per month, but e.g. salary for 1 hour per employee per month. Salaries vary a lot between countries (and even within countries).

Or pay employees to work in open source?
