OK, the consensus time/date for the hangout seems to be Wednesday, 31 July, 1600 UTC (1000 EDT). I will create and event later today in Hangouts. If you're on the wave-dev list and have a Google login, please forward me your email ID/Google+ ID privately and I will add you to the circle of invitees. I Have Joseph's ID already and I believe Ali and Michael also, but if you have a doubt, just send it along. If you don't make the hangout itself, I will be sure to share the link here for the common record.
