GitHub announces Open Source Friday

GitHub has announced a new program that aims to make it easier for people to contribute to open source projects. "Open Source Friday isn't limited to individuals. Your team, department, or company can take part, too. Contributing to the software you already use isn't altruistic—it's an investment in the tools your company relies on. And you can always start small: spend two hours every Friday working on an open source project relevant to your business. Whether you're an aspiring contributor or active maintainer of open source software, we help you track and share your Friday contributions. We also provide a framework for regular contribution, along with resources to help you convince your employers to join in."
