At the company I work at we have some internal projects that we can jump on to and off from that are not mission critical but make internal processes a little more enjoyable. Our iOS and Android developers are working on a time tracking app that hooks into the API of our otherwise web based time tracker. Our Java-Developers started on a Slack Bot for Standups (which went public in the meantime in case you want to check it out: olaph.io). I work on some tools that integrate the services we use, and otherwise like to spend my time on open source PHP libraries. That‘s one of the things that I like about our company: we are encouraged to improve ourselves by working on projects like this, and at the same time can enhance the visibility of the company by doing it.
So, even when we have some idle time customer project wise, we can always stay busy \o/
