"The Open Source Network"

I found this today while poking through some open source projects relevant to my independent study. It seems like a great idea! I just signed up - I'm nathanielksmith - and I'm pretty impressed with it. Check it out! http://www.ohloh.net/

I like the idea of specialized social networks (see http://bridge-builders.ning.com/ ); networks geared towards one particular purpose. Facebook works as a gossip / catching up / picture sharing platform fine, but when I want to connect about open source software (to people I don't know in real life) I want to go somewhere else; similarly when I want to brainstorm about religious pluralism.
