Question

I'M going to contribute to open-source projects, but my current

employment agreement states that ALL my code belongs to the company I work for. My company is OK with the idea of employees contributing to open-source (in fact, the company itself sends some code to upstream) provided that I show them my code and there won't be parts in it that might be considered property of the company or its clients.

Question: what kind of confirmation should I require from my company to make sure the code I want to contribute will no longer be exclusive property of the company? Should I ask for a written acknowledgement or can I get away with something less formal? I'd like to make sure they won't be able to take the code back from the project.
