By "something," what exactly are you looking for? I'm just curious.

It's very difficult to contribute open-source work outside of a day job, especially when you're working on your own side business. The best I've accomplished in the past is getting my employer on-board with the idea of contributing back to open-source for 50% of my time. That's a lot easier at a start-up, however.
