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:

I'm very interested in learning about FLOSS alternatives for
videoconferencing, though!
