零時政府黑客松由 g0v 揪松團舉辦，兩個月一次的單天活動，百名與會者來自不同的城市、背景、專長與年紀，利用三分鐘的時間將自己想做的事快速發表，並在活動現場尋找志同道合的夥伴，發揮各自所長，同時透過線上與線下協作的方式，用弄髒雙手的精神來「讓事情發生」。

The g0v hackathon is a single-day event organized by the g0v jothon team once every two months. People from all different backgrounds come to pitch their ideas with a three minute lightning talk and search for other hackers to bring their ideas to life. Working together online and offline, we get our hands dirty and make things together.

這些想法不光在黑客松發酵，更常延燒到會後，以不定時的方式持續發展，像是「萌典松」、「真的假的 Line Bot」、「立委投票指南」、「vTaiwan.tw」等專案，也因此形成了一個長期關注公民科技的民間社群。

Ideas don’t end when the hackathon does. Oftentimes, the hackathon incubates ideas that continue to develop long-after. Examples include the Moedict- Mandarin Chinese/Taiwanese Urban Dictionary, Cofacts Line Bot, Councilmembers Voting Guide, vTaiwan Project and others. As the starting point for so many of these projects, the g0v hackathon has cultivated a community of hackers passionate about civic technology.

什麼是「讓事情發生」？ / What is “Let’s Hack”?
例如，想改善住家附近的公共設施品質嗎？想搞清楚選區立委做了多少事嗎？想號召民眾一起收集生活中的各種資料嗎？與其等待別人來做，不如自己先起個頭，讓大家來跟進吧！

For example, do you want to improve the quality of public services near your home? Do you want to understand how much your elected representatives are doing? Do you want to collect various data about the lives of citizens around you? Instead of waiting for someone to get to work on these projects, why don’t you buckle down and get started?

目前從零時政府黑客松發起的專案已經有超過 400 件，從飲水機地圖到監督國會，特色公園到國有地專案，大的、小的、身邊的，各式各樣的專案都可以成為零時政府專案。例如：

  • 萌典 — 開放教育部國語詞典計劃，後來衍生成為各種語言、方言的多平台式線上詞典。
  • 總預算視覺化 — 透過網頁視覺化技術，讓預算數字成為更容易閱讀的圖表。
  • 動民主 — 以德國流動民主為概念，試圖打造線上決議的工具型專案。
  • 新聞小幫手 — 回報問題新聞並即時提醒讀者的實用瀏覽器擴充。

Over 400 projects have come out of g0v hackathons. These range from a map of drinking fountains to tools to track the legislature. Ideas big and small can all become a g0v project. Past examples include:

  • Moedict- A project to provide a frontend for the official Taiwanese Ministry of Education Chinese dictionary, Moedict became a platform to give many other Taiwanese languages and dialects an online dictionary.
  • Budget Sense- A project that uses data visualization to make the government budget transparent and accessible to the public.
  • News Helper
