Hi,

It is a brilliant Idea to have a session that could help the new
contributors to jump on board. I am in. I am excited to learn!

IMO, an IRC session will be more apt.
There are couple of reasons why I feel this way.
    Not everyone might have the bandwith to support video / voice calls.
    Language barrier - it is easy for non-native English speakers to write and read text rather than to talk.
    Record it for future reference. An IRC log could serve as a simple document for future reference.
   
Having an interactive voice/video session has its perks too. But regarding the use of Hangouts, as Adam has pointed out, Fedora project will not be very happy about use of any closed / proprietary services for official purposes. Of course we can call it as un-official and go ahead with hangouts. Or we can use some other service.
Just to consolidate the alternate services suggested so far, we have :
    https://openmeetings.apache.org/ ( my experience with it wasn't great. )
    Mumble
    services that use WebRTC like Jitsi Videobridge
    join.me ( proprietary)
I have found vector.im to be the better alternate. It is Open Source; it doesn't require any mundane setup; no additional software required (works from browser).
If some of you can try it and evaluate, we can go with vector.im or else we can stick to hangouts for now.

And regarding time, let all of us decide it.
