We are glad to announce the release of Taiwan Open Government Report. Taiwan Open Government Report is a research project conducted by the Open Culture Foundation to review the practice and impacts of open government policies in Taiwan from 2014 to 2016. In this report, we focus on four main fields of open government: (1) law and policies, (2) transparency through open data, (3) civic participation, and (4) collaboration through civic technology.

In this event, we will share our findings to our community, the government servants, the press, and our Civic Tech Fest guests. We will also invite open government experts and practitioners to have a conversation with our researchers. The event is open to the general public (RSVP needed), and we welcome all engaged citizens to participate in the conversation.

This event will be conducted in Chinese. However, English interpretation will be available.

Civic tech is still a fairly new practice, even though we all work in different socio economical and political local contexts it seems the challenges we face are similar. Be it scaling to reach more people, making accessible to every one or even sometimes just having impact on the decision that is taken, those challenges are numerous.

The event format is Barcamp which is an open, participatory workshop-event, the content of which is provided by participants. We will split up in small interdisciplinary groups and make the best use of design thinking pratices to make sure we are able to work on prototype solutions and pitch results at the end of the event.

This data bootcamp will provide NGO workers with training on scraping, visualizing, and analyzing data using free Google spreadsheets and software. With practical hands-on exercises and group sharing, we hope to ensure that NGO workers quickly grasp the key to data analysis!

Wikimedia Taiwan was founded in 2007, after Jimmy Wales and Wikimania come to Taiwan. Wikipedia, the new open-knowledge platform, just begin to become a well known website from then.

Ten years have gone. Wikipedia is a portal of knowledge for people in Taiwan now, but there are still a lot of things that need be improved: we need more editors, more diversity, more impact, and less knowledge gap.

Now, we invite community members, researchers, our partners, and anyone who care about open culture to join the Wikimedia Taiwan 10 Anniversary Conference. To know what we have done, and to tell us what we need to do for the next 10 years.
