We haven't established any official open-source policy, per se. Our software (mostly ruby and python with some C firmware and Objective-C for iOS) does make considerable use of many open-source libraries. While working, I often find bugs in these upstream dependencies and will: * Find the project on github * Search existing issues for the problem I've encountered. * If found, see if there's an existing patch (and use it). * If no existing issue is found, I'll open one, then try my hand at supplying a pull request that addresses said issue. My PRs aren't always accepted. * I generally fork -> PR under my personal github account, since I'm not acting at an official level for my company. * I don't mention my company in the PR.
