I only was at one Hackathon, yet, and the article pretty much summarizes my thoughts. Instead of working on the Hackathon I did some pull requests to actual FOSS projects. One guy actually presented the thing he did for a FOSS project. Aren't there hackathons from like Mozilla, Django, Rails communities who just meet to get some specific set of features, bugs or tests out of the way?

Those are usually called “sprints”.
