We could set up a
video call or Google Hangout if you would like to discuss a bit
more easily.
Have you joined canonical Jimmy?
No.
Afaik, ubuntu studio has no tools for video conference available.
No, not really.
I'm no one to tell you if you should or not join efforts with NEC to help
them free their computing, but if you do; please do so on your own behalf.
If you want to include the team to spend time and energy in a video
conference to help a third part, at least make sure you discuss the options
with- and set up the tools for the team first.
No, of course I wouldn't set up a meeting for someone else. If
Devin would be interested to discuss open source with someone in
the community I would try to make that happen, within my own
schedule. As he wrote it was difficult through email I suggested
another form of communication that might be easier.
Misunderstand me right, I'd love to see you point us to existing tools or
set freesoftware video conferences up so that the devel team can discuss
internal issues more easily. However, hangouts or skype are no options.
How the devel team discuss internal things was not in scope. I
suggested using a video conference or Google Hangout with
another person, hence the "we". Not "we" as everyone on the
list.
As Canonical (or anyone else) has not found any good
alternative so far, all Ubuntu conferences have used Google
Hangout for years. Unfortunate yes, but until good alternatives
are available that is what they have chosen. As I suggested a
call with someone outside of the open source world a hangout
might be the best way to start as it much more likely that they
have used it before or at least will be able to easily set it up
to discuss matters. At a later stage other means of
communication might be used.
Saying that it's not an option to use anything other than free
software it's quite narrow minded and not very productive. What
you chose to use for internal discussions within the devel team
is up to you and the team. Besides, what I use as a person to
help someone out, who is considering trying to use open source,
is up to me.
Surely, I would not make any promises or speak on behalf of the
whole community or Canonical or anything. But to listen to NEC
and their questions and perhaps point them in a direction to get
answers. That's how the community works.

it is very hard and confusing to read your emails, jimmy. you do not quote
properly.
when you write 'we' in the context of the list you have to expect being
read as speaking on behalf of the team. for personal matters please use
email off-list.
as for your implication of narrow minded attitude, i reckon that is a
matter of POV. However, as you may know, this is a foss mailing list.
Of course we should listen to NEC, non the less to use the teams sparse
ressources to set up specialized ressources is detrimental to our focus.
Given it is used properly, email is an excellent format to develop ideas
and concepts, o is IRC. Ubuntu Studio is in itself proof of this statement.
