+# Please save the date!
+
+Thursday, August 20th, the last day of the NASA UWG Summit, we'll host a
+hackday from 10am - 3:30pm Eastern time (with a lunch break). We hope you can
+make it!
+
 
 "Hackday" to our [NASA Openscapes](https://nasa-openscapes.github.io/) and
 [earthaccess](https://earthaccess.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) communities means
 we will be collaboratively problem-solving and strategizing, and translating
 ideas into action. This includes decisions, code, and documentation.
-**Purpose:** To gather anyone who's attending the UWG Summit or from on-site at Goddard, and hack on "making things easier for scientists" from policy, social and technical perspectives. This in-person hackday is about how we’re supporting scientists with infrastructure. A lot of hacking is not hands-on coding. It’s hacking on decisions. It’s seeing how each other works. Asking each other questions about interoperability. It’s **surfacing friction - which friction lies in the tech and which lies in the social?** We know [earthaccess](https://earthaccess.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) has transformed the way people access NASA Earthdata. We want to welcome new users and contributors to earthaccess and the open science ecosystem.
