I recently got a job offer from Odoo and from what I could gather they seem to be a nice company with an open source culture. Unfortunately working as a developer for Odoo means moving to some place in the Belgian countryside (or to Gandhinagar, India)

Living in Brussels / Leuven / Louvain-la-Neuve and commuting is quite feasible. Lots of smart people working there, I would recommend.

Or adopting a more distributed model so people do not have to commute (as often). As the thing is kind of opensource, everything seems set up for that enough anyway. Lot's of smart people around the world who won't want to live in Belgium or India.

Living in Brussels and was searching for a job not so long ago. I just didn't even sent my CV to them beceause they where too far away. From Brussels to their town it's more than hour and half and that's an optimistic number.

Depends where in Brussels, from the southern neighbourhoods (Boitsfort, Auderghem, Woluwe, Etterbeek, etc), it's 30min-50min. There's little traffic in that direction. Did it for years from Boitsfort :)
