I recently posted on the @TODOGroup blog on why we run an open source program at Twitter:

Outside of just my experience, it’s been great to see other companies participating in this effort so you can hear from them too on running open source programs:
"open source [is] the bedrock over which the mainstream flows" - @github's thoughts on open source programs: http://t.co/OjaQ8lHk9h

There should be more blog posts from us in the future about this topic, on top of us discussing other issues pertinent to companies working with open source communities.
Anyways, I hope you learned something new from these posts and if you’re a fan of company open source programs, please consider pushing your company or others to establish an official open source program or office. We all should give back as it’s in our best interest.
