Even if you discuss substantial issues related to the project, you can document the discussion in the mailing list and continue it there.

If you come up with something controversial, you might get more people coming to the Hangout the next time.

It seems that the key contributors might benefit from a collaboration session 
with the whole multi-media support under the supervision of the chairperson to 
get a team strategy and reinforce the team spirit that is supposed to drive 
Apache projects.
This is something I was considering since a long time, thanks for mentioning it.
We could have monthly Google Hangouts (or similar technology) to meet and know 
each other
I don't think we should discuss team strategies, tasks priorities, the future 
of the project or similar... these are topics that is better to discuss in the 
mailing list for a series of reasons (visibility, time zones, log history 
etc...).
It could be in the form of a "virtual pizza" (my Italian hat on, but Jacques 
can have escargot ;-) ) where the participants have some food and can chit chat of light 
topics (possibly not OFBiz).
After all these years in the OFBiz community it would be good to know each 
other from a different point of view... and maybe this will help to remove some 
of the friction that we experience in this community.
We could give it a try... at least we will not be able to stub each other 
during the hangout.
