g0v Summit 台灣零時政府雙年會
「公民不打烊」
g0v.tw 台灣零時政府社群從 2012 年開始，在「寫程式改造社會」的號召下，形成了東亞最具規模的公民黑客社群，以資訊透明、開放成果、開放協作為核心，透過群眾草根的力量來關心公共事務。在 318 運動過後，更首度於 2014 年舉辦 g0v Summit 零時政府雙年會，促成開放社群、政府、NGO、學術圈、以及網路鄉民跨界交流。
2024 對 g0v Summit 而言是個新局面。一方面，疫情後的社群需要重新建立連結，找回各自努力與一同前進的動能；另一方面，全球情勢距離第一次 g0v Summit 已改變許多：社會極化、極權擴張、以及民主倒退的傾向在短期內或許不會有大幅改善，但我們也看到學生社群的活躍、鄰近國家公民黑客社群之間強韌的連結，以及公民團體們也更加積極地發聲與串連。
g0v Summit 2024 選擇在 2024 年 5 月台灣總統就職典禮的兩個禮拜前舉辦。在許多民主國家舉行選舉的這年，我們希望 g0v Summit 能夠繼續維持一個聚集、傾聽、尋找共同點並建立合作的場所。改變不是請客吃飯、民主不只投票凍蒜，期許我們於選後仍不放慢參與的步伐，公民不打烊。
“Citizens Never Rest”
Under the call to “Code a Better Society,” the Taiwanese g0v.tw has rallied thousands of like-minded citizens since 2012, forming one of the largest civic hacking communities in Asia Pacific. Rooted in transparency, open source, and polycentric collaboration, g0v.tw community employs the power of grassroots crowds to engage with public affairs. Riding the tide of renewed interest in civic participation from Sunflower Movement, the community held its first Summit in 2014, facilitating cross-sector exchanges among open source communities, NGOs, the government, academia, and netizens alike.
After the political turnover in 2016, this consolidated momentum of civic engagement continued to make impacts in different corners of the society, catalyzing public-private partnerships, interdisciplinary collaboration, or issue advocacy in general. g0v Summit had maintained its biennial presence, steadily expanding its scale with less restrictive call-for-papers and encouraging in-depth discussions. For the summit in 2020, the community managed to join forces with well-established NGOs and local geek gatherings in Tainan, hosting an extraordinary 4-day event in Taiwan's culture capital.
The year 2024 has presented brand new challenges to both the g0v community and Summit itself. On one hand, the community already needs to rebuild our momentum after the pandemic, mending connections and motivate participants after a 4-year sedative on crowd events; on the other hand, the global situation has changed significantly since the first g0v Summit. We may not find quick cure to social polarization, authoritarian expansion, or democratic backsliding which many of us are witnessing at the moment, but we still see hope in the vigorous activities of student communities, the strong ties between civic tech communities in neighboring countries, and the firm coordination among non-profits and civic groups.
We elected to hold g0v Summit 2024 two weeks before Taiwan's presidential inauguration in May. In a year where many democratic countries will cast their votes, we envision g0v Summit continues to serve as a place for gathering, listening, finding common grounds, and joining efforts. There is no free lunch for bringing change, just as voting itself does not bring democracy. Elections will end, but we shall not slow down our pace. Civic engagement never rests.
