什麼是 g0v 基礎建設松？

g0v 社群由「人、坑、松」組成，如何讓參與者容易串連協作，需要更多好用的工具與平台。繼兩年前第零次基礎建設松後[1]，揪松團重啟相關計畫，揪碼農筆農一起長期耕耘，希望透過常態經營基礎建設專案，能讓去中心化的分散式工作更有效能。目前進行的計畫有 g0v Hub（社群人力銀行）、g0v search（社群文件搜尋器）、g0v domain 申請規劃、g0v 專案雲端主機代管規劃、新手教學等，也歡迎提案。

傍晚熱炒晚上松

【！！！更新！！！】Ray Cha 因為工作變動而無法出席本次基礎松，Frank 可能會視情況介紹 Ray 原本要講的內容。

在晚上基礎松之前的傍晚，我們會用很台的熱炒招待外國訪客。本次將有兩段短講：分別是《黑箱社會：掌控信息和金錢的數據法則》作者 Frank Pasquale，以及於 EDGI（Environmental Data & Governance Initiative，環境資料與政府行動，監測美國聯邦政府環境機構網頁的組織）任職的 Ray Cha。在短講之後，歡迎沒有人提案、交流或自由 hacking。

短講摘要

  1. Frank Pasquale has criticized government agencies for using opaque technologies. For example, opaque algorithms determine whether U.S. citizens deserve benefits, are put on a terrorist watchlist, or are put on other blacklists. Recently, groups like AINow and the Turing Institute have recommended that governments only use algorithms and AI that can be publicly inspected and explainable. Frank will describe these efforts, and how government procurement policy should treat government technology adoption. For background, see:

  2. Ray Cha has worked on civic tech and open data in several contexts. His talk will focus on his work at the Environmental Data Governance Initiative, to archive official websites and ensure an accurate record of climate data and administrative action. Ray has also worked to ensure maximum feasible public use of transit data.
