Afraid I have to agree about Diaspora.
Geeks, especially open source coding geeks, get their social interactions in the process of writing code and sharing in that environment where they are much less private than in their personal lives. "Here's my code. Judge me on that. I'll keep my birthdate to myself." Nothing wrong with that.
But github or sourceforge or launchpad are likely places for social connections and fulfillment for many of the readers and commenters on OpenSource.com
Sorry I didn't think to bring that up earlier.
You could use Diaspora
