Fair enough. I didn't know protonmail dose not allow Mail-clients.

No, You wrote

In the context of the list, being the devel-team member that you are,
that sounds like "we, the team" to me... Maybe i'm the only one, but i
can't read your mind, sorry about that. I also apologize if i
anticipated Devin misunderstanding your statement as if "we", the team,
would set up a video conference for his project.

Nobody is questioning your membership. (except maybe you in this
response and your launchpad karma page, but we all now launchpad isn't
necessarily representative)

Nobody suggested you are not allowed to continue discussions. All _i_
did was to correct/question what you ment by "we" and ask you if you
could set up video conferences using tools aligned with our philosophy:

No jimmy: you missunderstood me. I think you need to read my mails a
couple of more times: all i did was to say you may use your time however
you want with whatever software you want, but to underline that you may
use your own personal tools for your own personal agenda. Basicaly,
exactly what you state here above.

Sure thing! However, at this point, there is nothing much we can do
since the issue should be addressed to canonical. But like i wrote and
write again: you are welcome to give your personal assistance to anyone.
And If you do so using the group's tools, please be wary to pinpoint
that it is your own personal initiative, and avoid generalizing terms
such as "we", when you in fact mean "he/her and me".

I agree, by taking everything personally you made it so. I understand
from previous discussion between you and me that you have a personal
issue with my ethics. I hereby kindly invite you to take those issues up
with me personally off-list. Letting your frustration roll out on the
list makes us all look bad.

Devin: i'm sorry this thread took the appearance of you ending up in the
middle of this. But you aren't the cause for anything here. You are
doing the right thing by asking for guidance and motivating everyone
with your constructive ways. Like i said previously: Rest assured you
are welcome to ask any question to the list or team and we will do our
best to help you to the possible extend.

However, and i repeat, canonical is your channel, they might indeed be
able to set-up a conference with hang-outs, i've only talked to them via
IRC.
