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.

And speaking about why I initialized this topic; the reason is I think
proprietary software shall be avoided in any case where the lost of
functionality doesn't hurts too much, because usually you'll be paying
latter for it in manners that are not too obvious.

In fact, this is the same I thought when I realized ubuntuforums.org
was
using a proprietary engine; choosing to do so because functionalities
that were of little importance, and latter having its user accounts
being cracked. Meanwhile I have the greatest forum ever created easily
built over phpbb ?

So I wanted to bring out if there is any other options; but perhaps,
since this affects the development submits of all Launchpad, I haven't
done in the proper place.

Life is simple and good ?
Since UDS went online, Kubuntu has used a combination of IRC and mumble voice 
chats to plan its work. I've participated in a few of the hangouts sessions 
too.  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.
