Many other communities (esp in the ML communities) host "sprits": focused times to work together on improving or contributing to a specific project or ecosystem.

It would be super cool to do these maybe every quarter (lasting one weekend day) for various projects throughout the year. Some sample steps could include:
Setting up a schedule for projects for the year, and coordinating maintainer participation
Writing up a rough schedule for the day/event by looking up how other events are run
Setting up the required Discord channels/tools/bots to facilitate the event
Advertising materials and promoting the event
There is lots of great info in the handbook below for what these events typically entail.

This could be a really good way to continue from the success of unitaryHACK and help both tackle tasks on important open source projects, but also help onboard new OSS contributors in a friendly and encouraging environment.
