“…However, the unusual aspects were incentivization through “civic duty” rather than the cash prizes which were used in European COVID hackathons ( Bertello et al, 2021 ), and the rapid adoption and benefits realization by the Uruguayan government. Interestingly, research on assistive technology hackathons ( Lifshitz-Assaf et al, 2021 ) indicates that the formal agile methodologies break down in hackathons because, ironically, they are too rigid to deliver in extremely schedule-compressed environments.…”

“…For example, conferences in academic communities are governed by a scientific norm of common ownership over a shared body of knowledge (Merton, 1973) O 'Mahony & Ferraro, 2007;Seidel & Stewart, 2011). Hackathons often adopt norms that encourage the open sharing of expertise (Lifshitz-Assaf et al, 2020). Many software projects created at hackathons are, themselves, made available as open source.…”

“…Software development hackathons often have some affiliation or overlapping membership with open innovation and open‐source software communities, which nurture an ethos of openness, valuing the free exchange of ideas and encouraging knowledge to flow between members (Lee & Cole, 2003; Lifshitz‐Assaf, 2018; O'Mahony & Ferraro, 2007; Seidel & Stewart, 2011). Hackathons often adopt norms that encourage the open sharing of expertise (Lifshitz‐Assaf et al, 2020). Many software projects created at hackathons are, themselves, made available as open source.…”

“…When interactions are fluid or round-the-clock, using a team of researchers can help in generating sufficient observation. For example, researching make-a-thon groups—small groups that participate in 72-hr sessions to build new devices—Lifshitz-Assaf et al (2018) coordinated across authors to collect data round-the-clock (e.g., observational field notes, artifacts, informal interviews), which they supplemented with video recordings, blogs written by make-a-thon members, and websites. To keep up with the groups they were studying, members of the research team had to work separately to collect data, coming together regularly in huddles to compare observations and recalibrate their work before collecting more data.…”
