Based on my own experience Government Open Data and OpenStreetMap have very different cultures and work in different time frames. Licensing has been an issue, it only took five years to get the license for the GTFS local bus stops changed so we could import them but I think we are moving forward.
I think the difficulty with mapathons is finding things that add value and the quality of the data. Local mappers enriching the tags from building=yes to other values is helpful. Some Government Open Data is less accurate or recent than one might like but overall hopefully we should be able to come up with something that smaller municipalities or municipalities in locations where cost is a major factor for GIS will find useful.
