Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your interest. A mapathon is a mapping party ('mapping
marathon'). These are quite popular in London:

A group gets together to work on mapping an area through the HOT Tasking
Manager, and usually pizza is served :)
If these don't already, it would be great if these were a regular event in
Austria. They are a good way to meet other people interested in GIS and OSM.
Best wishes,
Faith
