Organizing sprints is a fine idea, but: * They should be designed around the assumption of remote-first, not "hybrid" or in-person-first, and there should be no language in the description whatsoever about in-person participation being important. There simply are too many factors involved in trying to get a bunch of people all in one place at the same time, and privileging in-person participation is something I will put up massive resistance to. * But I also think you're going to find that getting people to make another commitment on top of existing events is going to be difficult, and so it would make more sense to formally attach the sprint to a major event like one of the DjangoCons.
Meanwhile, I think it is absolutely essential to drop the "Core" naming, and to drop the idea that there are special classes of contributors whose presence is especially needed. Those last points, for me, are non-negotiable. The Django project explicitly has only the roles defined in DEP 10. There are no special statuses or classes of contributors whose input is more important than others, and that is *deliberate*. I knew when writing DEP 10 that some folks were never going to like the flatter setup, and would probably eventually try to re-introduce something resembling the old core team. I'm not saying that is what you're trying to do here, or that that's what anyone else is trying to do right now, but it feels like the proposals being put out right now are heading in that direction, and I want to make sure we stop that before it gets even the tiniest bit of traction.
