I mentioned this elsewhere on this thread. I completely agree with the sentiment. In a "when I'm king" kind of way I thought it would be great if tech leads had a modest budget for open source contributions (with a minimal amount of oversight to assure it wasn't being funneled off to their friends account). It might also help with legal / finance to have these funds earmarked so that they only had to approve it in the beginning.
