Join us for a live demonstration of how remesh works before their official public launch. Participants will be given a link to test the platform during the live Google hangout. More information on what remesh does can be found *here* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=3432b858ee&e=b611f35561> . *When: July 29, 2014, 2:00 - 2:30 PM EST* *Where: *Online via *Google Hangouts on Air* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=05ccfcec9f&e=b611f35561>. To RSVP and join, go to the *Hangout Link* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=5fc4be18a5&e=b611f35561> . *Bios:* Andrew Konya (CEO/Founder) is a PhD student in computational/theoretical physics at Kent State University. With extensive experience developing and implementing mathematical models for natural and man-made systems, Andrew brings a creative yet and versatile technical toolbox. This expertise, in concert with his passion for linguistics, led him to develop the first mathematical framework for collective speech. His goal is the completion of a conversation platform, built on this framework, which can make conversations between countries in conflict a viable alternative to war. Aaron Slodov (COO/Founder) is a current power systems engineering PhD student at Case Western Reserve University. A previous engineer at both Google and Meetup.com, Aaron is experienced in the tech landscape, and understands many of the current problems in the space. By enabling remesh technology he hopes to bring significant paradigm-shifting change to the way we communicate and interact with our world. *RSVP* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=71adc64d88&e=b611f35561>* and* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=e9d5cd1bd8&e=b611f35561> *JOIN* <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=b271dc83ca&e=b611f35561> We hope to see you on Thursday!
