Hi,
I came to know that a legislation in EU says that all my work (even the one that I develop at home, in my free time) is owned by my company. What do I have to do in case I have something to contribute and I developed it in my free time at home.

I'm in the UK and I've never heard of such a law. I'm a contractor and operate as a limited company. My contract specifically states I may work for other people/companies.
Your manager may have been joking and you took him seriously, but check your contract and listen to the advice others have given.
If there were such a law then I think many of us would know about it, the effect would be huge.

I got a green signal to go ahead and there will be no problem!!! All I have to do is sign a document with my company for every piece code that I contribute to open-source community.
