開放街圖在外交援助計畫上的應用
詹為翔
(初步切題：你想不到的臺灣外交幫手：開放街圖計畫)
Abstract
開放街圖具有自由且開源的特性，適合集群眾之力來繪製圖資缺乏地區，本次將以在中西非聖多美及普林西比的瘧疾防治計畫為例，使用開放街圖來繪製當地基本圖資，使用繪製地圖的GPS等相關設備以及與當地人會談來收集資訊，將當地十分缺乏的地理資訊數位化、現代化，並可將圖資應用在各項計畫的分析上，如瘧疾病例與孳生源的空間關係分布等，結合當地實際數據，對瘧疾以及其他疾病更有效率的防治。
Biography
台大職業醫學與工業衛生研究所畢業，曾外交役派駐西非聖多美及普林西比執行瘧疾防治計畫，並繪製該國基本圖資，回台後曾在竹科工作，現在在台北某外商任職，目前為Opensatreetmap Taiwan理事會成員。
韓國大選與投票建議指南: "Ping"
JK Suh
(初步切題：韓國的公民科技孵化器 WAGL/其實韓國也有 g0v)
Abstract
Modern elections are becoming ever more sophisticated in terms of campaigners’ ability to mine voter data and micro-tailor their messages to key demographics (see the Obama campaign’s ’cave’ of data scientists, e.g.: How Obama’s Team Used Big Data to Rally Voters ).
Voter Advice Applications, or VAAs, leverage similar techniques, but reverse the direction of the telescope: voters get a better understanding of candidates, not the other way around (see this).
VAAs have gained popularity in Canada, Germany, Britain, the Benelux countries and Switzerland, where around 10% of the population use a VAA (see euvox2014, A review of the top Voter Advice Applications for the 2015 General Election, Voting Advice Applications in Europe: The State of the Art for more examples from Europe).
A basic VAA asks a series of questions that probe a user’s political preference, then uses a distance measurement algorithm to visualize her position relative to parties and candidates that are standing in election. Ping, the first service of this kind to launch in East Asia, adds on to successes elsewhere in two ways: first, Ping provides local candidate information, beyond national party positions. Second, Ping crowd-sources its questions, so that users can ask district-specific questions to each candidate.
The session will begin by reviewing the then-recent Korean General Election (held April 16) and place Ping in the broader context of the Korean Civic Hacking / Open Data community.

在奈比多用 NodeJS：緬甸選舉資料開放
Nicholas Doiron
(初步切題：資訊科技如何幫助緬甸的第一次國家大選)
Abstract
In November 2015, millions of Myanmar’s citizens went to the polls for the first openly-contested national elections in 25 years. Tens of thousands of people used mobile apps to research political parties, find out their candidates ahead of time, and see candidates’ profiles. Those apps’ data came from the MaePaySoh API, a partnership between the Myanmar Union Election Commission in Naypyitaw and the Asia Foundation’s. Behind the scenes there were weeks of paperwork, scanning, digitizing, Unicode issues, deal-making, data cleanup, and development leading up to a two-week-long Hackathon. Take a look inside a fledgling open source community in Yangon and a drive for civic tech apps.

(初步切題：直接民主實驗：馬德里的不思議)
Abstract
從2011年5月15日以來，西班牙正處於巨大的轉變當中：人民直接取得對政治的控制權。巨變已經出現：人民佔據廣場，捍衛公共服務，不再被驅逐，最後進入政府機關。
在2015年5月的最後地方選舉，從15M運動出身的新政黨已經贏得了主要市政府，如馬德里，巴塞隆那、薩拉戈薩，加的斯... 等等的控制權。
我們會分享目前的情況，並聚焦於馬德里的新公民參與策略和 Consul 上：這個全新的直接民主自由軟體平台，正在快速擴展影響力：不止其他的西班牙城市，也有國際層面的合作。
