Hi Jonathan,
in my federal state branch of the German Pirate Party, we all day long
successfully combine Etherpad:
for voice connections. Both are FLOSS, but I cannot tell whether or not
they would suffice for what you are doing during your research.

The tool being tested is a pre-release alpha stage and is only
enabled
for these languages so far. Once it is refined, tested, and built, it
will be available in all languages for which there is a Wikipedia.

Please be aware that using Google and thus letting them and the

Yes, I fully agree that there are various issues with Google
Hangouts,
and I totally understand that this will be problematic for some
users.
My personal issue with the tool is that it is not open source, rather
than the possible privacy/infosec issues you raise. But this kind of
research requires voice connection and shared schrees, and this is
the
tool that is available to me for this function.
