Thanks - good post. That said, I don't think Fred Wilson was being unreasonable.
I'm far from an expert but I'd agree that the ad business is a tough one in which to succeed, maybe not when contrasted w/ mobile apps or gaming, but certainly when compared to other web businesses with more distinct revenue streams like enterprise solutions, etc.
Perhaps the founder of a successful advertising-based business such Bleacher Report would disagree, but he has good reason to do so!
Neat idea! Looking forward to your progress. Have you considered open hardware gigs as well?
Currently, I work for http://gun.io - we're trying to encourage FOSS community growth as well (FOSS/non profit postings are free), but trying to also include other code-related jobs
