Github is a network. Network through shared engineering interests, mutual admiration and meritocracy. Pull requests can be surprisingly social.

Are you looking for a geographically relevant network? Or will distributed and virtual suffice?

Thanks. I think it is more to do with the varied nature / expertise of the people in the network - especially if one is an entrepreneur. In terms of location, a distributed and virtual network should suffice too.
