Perhaps this is pedantic, but I feel compelled to comment hoping someone from Github sees this... "we've encouraged GitHub employees to take time at least every fourth Friday to work on open source" I think this is meant to read "last Friday of the month", not "every fourth Friday", seeing as this is being promoted today.

It looks like there are 4 months this year with 5 Fridays in the month. I don't think its pedantic. That messaging could confuse the hell out of somebody.

  In fact, this Friday is the fifth Friday of June.

In the part you quote is describing a practice that was historically in place at GitHub, not the goals of this program. The new program is about contributing to open source once a week: > contribute a few hours contributing to open source every Friday > Alternative name: 52 pull requests

> I think this is meant to read "last Friday of the month", not "every fourth Friday", seeing as this is being promoted today. I don't think it's necessary for them to announce a change in their practice on a specific day. They're moving from every 4th Friday to every Friday for open source.
