Is there a better word for "hackathon", when it's not meant to be competitive and open for other forms of creation than just programming?

I wrote up my issues with this term:

@inthehands @kissane @jenniferplusplus thanks for the pointers! I'd love to have your opinions on this idea I pitched some time ago: https://antonin.delpeuch.eu/posts/off-the-shelf-governance-models-for-small-foss-projects/

If you don’t onboard contributors proactively, then you're selecting project members for their social engineering abilities.

New blog post on #onboarding in #FOSS projects, reflecting on the "Pull Request Hack":

Phenomenal talk by @shauna about relationship problems in open source :) We need to shift the expectations about the quality of relationships between FOSS colleagues.

@waldyrious in Mastodon, the polling feature could potentially be used for elections or other collective decision making (which forges lack)… also curious to hear more precisely the use cases you have in mind, @ntnsndr :)

@nemobis I just mean a Codeberg org (~= GitHub org), nothing fancy!

I am looking into starting an organization for collective maintenance of #treesitter grammars, in the spirit of @jazzband. Would anyone be interested in joining?
If anyone has insights about how #jazzband (or similar) has been doing, I am also keen to learn more.

@nemobis I imagine something a bit like the #creativecommons licenses: a simple web page explaining the spirit of the model and how to put it in practice, which goes together with a more detailed document which can be referred to in corner cases.

@nemobis do you know of software projects following this cooperative model? Is the Apache model a good example of what you mean by that?

@nemobis maybe it's just my lack of appetite for legalese, but I wouldn't try to formulate governance models as a legally binding contract, especially for small projects. I hope that the simple fact of conscious choice of a governance model by maintainers brings a lot of effects already. I would put the emphasis on training people to use those models on a day-to-day basis and adaptations in forge software.

New blog post, about a recent obsession of mine: off-the-shelf #governance models applicable to small #FOSS projects. What do you think of the idea? Would you like to work on that together? https://antonin.delpeuch.eu/posts/off-the-shelf-governance-models-for-small-foss-projects/

@nemobis oh nice, I've let the #HackerTrain crew know: https://forum.na-prostem.si/t/hackertrain-to-fosdem-2025-slovensko-english/138/8

New blog post: retrospective of #Dissemin and thoughts on the #openaccess movement.

@baconandcoconut @SeaGL @vmbrasseur sounds like a very interesting talk - is it streamed or recorded?

New blog post: https://mergiraf.org, a syntax-aware merge driver for #Git.

Supports #Java, #Rust, #Golang, #javascript, #cpp, #csharp, #html, #json, #yaml and #xml so far, and it's quite easy to add support for more thanks to #treesitter.
