Maybe you should start your own project, for-profit or non-profit ;).

Years ago, I recall the story of Canadian management who took over a
shipyard somewhere in England. The Brit management had been preoccupied
with their perks and liquid lunches and hadn't been keeping an eye on
things. When the Canadians went down to the shop floor, they found the
workmen had a thriving side business building and shipping prefab houses.

Dunno whether they canned the guys or offered to set them up as a
subsidiary enterprise ;).
