Honorable mention must go out to the OpenBSD team who have been running hackathons for 20+ years now. The difference is that they are invitation only and tend to zoom in on a specific area, eg this week we will all show up in Prague and hack on routing protocols, or whatever. I can't imagine what deraadt@ would have to say about one of those Major League Hacking type events with a big corporate sponsor and influencer wannabe types floating around eveywhere.

The tl;dr is that hacking, like discussion on the Internet, is into the dark forest model now.
