Hello to civic hackers! g0v Summit 2024 is now open for proposing ideas!
| What is g0v Summit? |
g0v Summit is a biennial gathering in Taiwan that focuses on civic hacking, open government, open-source collaboration, and citizen participation. It is a major international event in the open government community and attracted speakers from up to 33 countries in the last four editions, with nearly a thousand of attendees each time.
Most of the g0v Summits are held by community contributors, and the content of the discussion and preparation for the conference are opened as collaborative documents. The agenda and content of events adhere to an open and collaborative spirit, encouraging the audience to collaborate on taking notes and transcripts in real-time. The conference also features simultaneous interpretion and live video streaming, endeavoring to create a relaxed, diverse, and friendly environment for participation. In addition to the pre-planned agenda, the conference also features a section of “unconference”, where participants can propose topics and create new spaces for collaboration through talks, discussions, and workshops. Participants can also freely sign up for “lightning talks” – a tradition from open source communities that highlights the spirit of openness and sharing.
Note: The default simultaneous interpreting service is between Mandarin and English.
