## Description

The g0v (pronounced gov-zero) community, launched in 2012, is one of the most active **civic tech grassroot communities**, advocating openness, transparency, and civic participation among netizens in Taiwan and East Asia.

Under the call of “coding for societal change,” the participants of g0v community have building numerous platforms and projects upon open data and digital activism. This has **lowered the barriers to civic participation** and enhanced rational discussion of public affairs. Even as an unincorporated, decentralized citizen initiative, the g0v community has fostered multi-faceted exchanges among government agencies, NGOs, academia, and netizens, creating a unique model of interaction between Taiwanese civil society and the government. The g0v contributors communicate and collaborate online, while convene and connect in hackathons offline. Project outcomes (including but not limited to text, images, code, data, analysis, and processes) are **required to be open-source**, enabling more people to use, improve, comment, maximizing the collective power for the common good.

As a volunteer-led initiative with no commercial objectives, g0v.tw primarily operates online with a large hackathon occurring once every two months. **Participation is free**, and both the venue and the food are collectively provided by the volunteers. Participants propose different projects and call for volunteers. Oftentimes, in addition to meeting at the hackathons, projects will split off, holding their own smaller meetups and hackathons independent of the larger g0v events. This operating mode encourages bottom-up ideation, fostering activism over slacktivism.
