Formed at the end of 2012, g0v.tw is an online community that advocates transparency of information. It focuses on developing an information platform and tool for civic participation. Substituting the "o" with "0" in gov,the new "g0v" hopes that the generation of digital natives who sees the world in zeros and ones will start rethinking the role of the government from point zero. At the end of 2014, Taiwan experienced an awakening through a large-scale civic movement and g0v.tw held the g0v Summit for the first time to open up multilateral exchange between open communities, government and non-government organizations, academia and IT industry, and provide the results of collaboration as based on the way of open source. It is hoped that information transparency will help citizens better understand government operations, discuss and analyze public issues, thus achieving effective monitoring of the government and deepening the democracy movement.
