If you are concerned about changes in the parliament and are unsure about what you can do, join us in focusing on opening up the parliament/government!

#開放國會 是一個可能性，也是 OCF 希望能夠維繫的工作路線。 #OpenParliament is a possibility and also a work direction that OCF hopes to maintain.

"Transparency, participation, accountability, and inclusiveness" — these values of open source are also what OCF demands from the government. 「透明、參與、課責、涵容」——這些開源的價值觀也正是 OCF 對政府的訴求。 time.com/6980495/protes…

OCF believes that #Open will enhance transparency and accountability, and will also open the door to civic participation; enabling better interaction between the parliament and the public.

OCF 相信 #開放 會帶來透明與可課責性的提升，也將開啟公民參與的大門；讓國會與大眾可以更好地互動。若你關注國會的異動，同時對於自己可以做什麼感到迷惘，和我們一起關注開放國會 / 政府吧！

How can a balance be struck between expanding parliamentary powers and ensuring parliamentary accountability?

如若改革法案通過後，可見的大量資料也將產出（如聽證會），國會將怎麼更有效地讓有意願關注、甚至公私協力的公民接觸、使用國會的資料？國會擴權和國會可課責性之間如何平衡？

If the reform bills are passed, a large amount of data will become available (such as from hearings). How will the parliament more effectively allow citizens who are interested and even willing to collaborate, both publicly and privately, to access and use this data?

目前討論得風風火火的國會改革法案更多地著墨在擴權而非開放或可課責。 Currently, the hotly debated parliamentary reform bills are more focused on expanding powers rather than on openness or accountability.

遺憾的是，在新的一屆國會上任後，開放國會的工作已然暫緩。 Regrettably, the work on #OpenParliament has been put on hold after the new session of parliament took office.

#開放國會行動方案 允許民間委員、黨團代表和立法院同仁一起完成許多讓國會更加開放的基礎建設 The #OpenParliament Action Plan allowed civil commissioners, party representatives, and Legislative Yuan to collaborate on many foundational projects that made the parliament more open.

但現實與這樣的想望在過去十年間是否有彼此靠進一點？ But has reality come any closer to these aspirations over the past decade?

Citizens generally have expectations of 'transparency, openness, participation, and accountability' from the government and parliament; besides immediacy and accessibility, citizens also expect visual presentations, allowing those concerned to understand quickly.

對於政府及國會，公民普遍有著「透明、開放、參與、可課責」的期待。除了在即時性、可觸及性外，也期待視覺化的呈現，讓關心的人更快理解現況。
