Sorry for being unclear about this. Google Hangout is a video-conference-thingamajig, so what I had in mind was establishing an audio-visual link to the lucky people in Thane, just for the fun of it. I don't believe IRC works very well with audio and visuals, yet... ;-) And yes, Google Hangout is a Google service, yes it does require download and installation of a closed plugin-thingy. But on the plus-side, I know several potential GBSD'ers use and it works quite well (even with video from several participants, as opposed to Skype). It was always meant as a fun add-on to the main event and participating is in no way required to be part of the fun that is GBSD. More details here: http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/topic.py?hl=en-GB&topic=1257349&parent=1698315 I'm very interested in learning about FLOSS alternatives for videoconferencing, though!
