Quick point:
There is no way you can ever open source G+ because G+ is not a single software that you can git/hg clone
Interestingly, reddit's source is online, and I actually managed to make my first (very, very trivial) change to it, issued a pull request, and now I'm officially a reddit contributor.
Given that I've spent a lot of time critiquing G+ and extensively modifying its layout via CSS (2000+ lines worth), I find this ... a notable contrast.
