As an update, I've created the python/core-sprint <https://github.com/python/core-sprint>repo to give you all visibility of what we're up to. You can open an issue there if you have any suggestions or questions about the sprint.

Please save the date for this year's core dev sprint, to take place virtually online from Oct 19 - 23, 2020.
The sprint is being organized by myself and Kyle Stanley, with help from Ewa Jodlowska.
We are still in the early planning stage, and just wanted to give you all a heads up so you can plan accordingly.
We will keep you posted once we have more details on how the virtual sprint will work and how to sign up. In the meantime, if you have questions, concerns, or suggestions about the sprint, you can reply to this thread or start a new discussion on Discourse.
In case you're not familiar about the core dev sprint, this is normally a weeklong (5 work days) sprint in person, where we would have focus time to work on CPython, finish your PEPs, review pull requests, etc.
You can read about past core dev sprints here: Core dev sprint 2019 <http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/10/cpython-core-developer-sprint-2019.html#:~:text=The%20core%20developer%20sprint%20is,work%20together%20free%20from%20distractions.> Core Dev sprint 2018 <http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2018/09/cpython-core-developer-sprint-2018.html>
Thanks for all your contributions to CPython! I hope that you would plan to participate from wherever you are!
