Regardless of whether it's Google services or not, I'd like to put in a word for video calls.

In the past year and a half, I've come to really appreciate video calls. In my experience, meetings held via video are universally more on track and productive. I much prefer them over phone only calls now.


Yes, in fact, I think part of the reason we got news-test.gnome.org going so quickly was that we were able to figure out all that is required and then get things moving quickly..

I think hangouts will even let you share  your computer desktop which even VNC doesn't do quite job of that.

 
They do tend to have more technical difficulties and they often get started more slowly as people figure out technical difficulties. IRC, etherpad, and even phone, don't seem to have that problem. They also require a good internet connection and the right hardware.


This is true.  I wish we could find a good open source platform for this kind of thing.  I've searched a lot but nothing seems to be up to par.

FWIW, I'd much rather use IRC than google services :)
