I've been wanting to create something called "Dev Nest" (or similar) for a while now (in my ever growing backlog). The basic premise would be that tech professionals with spare rooms provide medium term accomodation in exchange for part time technical expertise (design or development). So guests could see somewhere else in the world, experience the culture, and get hands on experience with a variety of startups and projects (open source etc.). The main difficulties would be in ensuring expectations of hosts are clear so everyone is happy, and also IP. However, I think it's doable. EDIT: There's also potential legal hurdles as to whether the accommodation is deemed payment for work. The whole platform would need to be extremely transparent to mitigate exploitation.
