Hacking Democracy: A discussion with Taiwan's g0v on growing the civic
tech movement

g0v (pronounced gov-zero) is a decentralized civic tech community in Taiwan
that advocates for transparency of information and builds bottom-up civic
tech solutions for citizens. g0v aims to use technology in the interest of
the public good, allowing citizens easier access to vital civic information
and providing citizens with increased power to shape policy outcomes.

Since 2012, g0v has been a leader in combining online and offline activism,
now regularly engaging more than 1000 contributors from all walks of life,
not just "techies." Join the conversation to learn how g0v helped transform
the way citizens in Taiwan think about traditional government through
harnessing the momentum of using civic tech as a social movement.
