<div>I found this confusing as well when organising our
pre-regional FOSS4G QGIS meet-up. I have personally delineated
them as the following- happy for corrections.<br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Qgis Conference: Large International event<br>
</li>
<li>User Meeting: National or regional meet-up<br>
</li>
<li>Hackathon: meet-up where work is undertaken to improve
elements of QGIS including: website, documentation, product
development, feature/function/core development - occurs at any
level<br>

This one was called Hackfest also back in the days. we switched to
"contributor meeting" to be more welcoming. So I think we could keep
the name Contributor meeting mainly, and use the word hackathon as a
comparison where we explain what this kind of event is. <br>

<div>For instance, with the FOSS4G 2025 occuring in Auckland NZ
next year in November, I hope a QGIS event will run of some kind
prior to it - which may occur on the sweet Waiheke Island at
Onetangi Beach - it would possibly take the form of a Hackathon
that will be organised by the regional QGIS User group.<br>

Sold. I'll be there! Stars are sufficiently aligned to make me do
the round trip.<br>

<div>On another matter, when the <a
href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">Wiki </a>says you can add in your
meet-up, is this only for the big ones, or can we put regional
ones as well?</div>

I think this is quite open. We referenced a local mini code sprint
in QGIS Grenoble in the wiki, just because it is a very convenient
place to self organize logistics. +1 for me.<br>

<li>Also is it ok to delineate that the conference is held for
the 'Northern Hemisphere' Spring as well.</li>
