Google Hangouts

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Since the 75% of communication is non verbal, carrying this 75% the 
emotional factor, I think the value of summits is having the opportunity 
to talk to other developers face to face. For the rest we have email, 
chat and Launchpad already.

I don't think IRC/mumble is noticeably inferior to the hangout approach and it avoids the first class/second class citizen problem with hangouts (only a select few are on the hangout - everyone else is on IRC).  No age limits either.
