Not to jump on to the gitlab bandwagon here. Adam from Skymind (YC W16) here I just want to say the last 4 hires we've made (we're only 11 soon 12) have been from around the world (we're in 4 countries) and this has worked great for us. A thriving open source community is key to hiring for us. A lot of our team does some sort of traveling. I myself will be working from tokyo (currently in korea actually..) moving from SF. We make the time zones work :D. Key to that for us has been gitter where we can collaborate/support the open source community while also being able to use it for collaborating with partners and running things like training classes. Just wanted to provide another example to prove gitlab isn't an anomaly. The same is true for a lot of the larger open source organizations (eg: canonical,redhat,automattic)
