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.

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.
