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:

I added back the Share and Embed options to the wikimedia videoplayer.

They show up when the video ends or when you pause. It uses the native browser Share interface, making it more maintainable.

These options had been dropped when we rewrote it years ago. This new version was the result of two hackathons over the last two years.

I was asked if I knew wikimedian tech-interested¹ people from Germany wanting to come to the Wikimania hackathon (#wmhack) in Paris next year?

¹ zb. devs, UX/UI, editors, translators, product people

the other big change is that the documentation is now published at doc.wikimedia.org: https://doc.wikimedia.org/m3api/m3api-query/

this is the result of my Wikimedia Netherlands Mini Hackathon 2025 project: https://wikis.world/@LucasWerkmeister/115464901553898408

the other m3api packages will follow soon, but m3api-query was the one where I had other features to include in a new release :)

The venue pictures on my timeline didn’t do it. The chat in the #wmhack channel didn’t do it. Folks arranging Pokémon meet ups are what gave me FOMO about #wikimania this year.

wikibase card (from #wmhack 2025) has arrived home! surprisingly the first one to arrive; beating the philippine one even though it's been out for a week now 😂

Thinking about what to cover in a presentation titled “Riding the train from [[gerrit:]] to [[WP:THURSDAY]]”. What bits of the Developer Experience stack would you want to hear a bit about? #wmhack

I did end up making that content proxy during the Hackathon. It didn’t end up in the showcase because the person in front of me ran long and we ran out of time. #wmhack

there, #wmhack is really over, because i am back home

i'm not tired you're tired (not bad-tired, just travel-tired :) )

Home from #wmhack in Istanbul. Lots of good time with old friends. Made a few new friends. Helped where I could. Looking forward to doing some proof of concept work with gitlab workflows for userscript/gadget maintenance enabled by the new https://gitlab-content.toolforge.org mime-type adding proxy.

@neriman I added a few more things from Spain #wmhack
