http://g0v.tw is arguably the most popular civic tech organization on the planet. When I spoke in Taiwan, I noted that they had almost as many Facebook and Twitter followers at the Sunlight Foundation, Code for America and mySociety combined ... and of course a much smaller population base.
While registration is closed, I expect like past years, many sessions will be available on-demand. They have a great speakers list. Follow them! https://www.facebook.com/g0v.tw/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/g0v.general/ https://twitter.com/g0vtw (Twitter is not used much within Taiwan) https://github.com/g0v https://plus.google.com/+g0vTW From: Chia-liang Kao <chiali...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 11:26 AM Subject: [Poplus] (May 14-15) Call for Participation: g0v Summit 2016 in Taipei To: Poplus - Collaborative Civic Coding <pop...@googlegroups.com> (Apologies for cross posting) Fellow civic hackers, *TLDR: May 14-15, Taipei. 50 Speakers from 16 Countries. Conf + Unconf. Keynote Speakers: Felipe Heusser, **Clay Shirky.* Registration is open until April 15: http://summit.g0v.tw/2016/ *Fork and Merge* "Openness", "Transparency" and "Participation" have become popular keywords. The global civic tech communities are experimenting with mass participation, new media forms and making better use of data, which is essentially "forking" the government like an open source movement. We would like to see how these processes and practices can be sustainably "merged" into daily governance, as well as having interdisciplinary conversation about these changes and impacts. You are invited to join one of the most vibrant civic hacking community for a 2-day conference + unconference May 14-15 in Taipei, Taiwan. Please find the full program in the link above. Best, clkao About g0v summit 2016 Returning for a second year after 2014, the g0v Summit 2016 will again invite the global civic tech community to share their experiences for collaboration between public servants, technologists, and NGO workers. g0v summit 2016 is set to be held on May 14-15, 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan. 750 participants are expected to attend the conference.
