V Congress of the Language becomes virtual

V International Congress of the Spanish language becomes virtual after the tragedy of the earthquake in Chile, where it was going to celebrate in Valparaiso. A magnificent decision that can open a new age for this type of events and for a better use, more sustainable, with more accessibility for experts and public, and even with possibilities of becoming many more participativo, open and interesting, also turn into perm.
I thought it on having known the news about the earthquake and there was even the one who reproached me. But the step given by the organizers can be important to rethink this type of events and to promote the education, discussion, presence and study on line of the languages and the literature.
Why to wait to a congress presencial when everything can be in Internet?
Both the Institute Cervantes and the Spanish Royal Academy have experience in Internet.
Perhaps be the moment to appear if all this money, efforts, resources, guests, protocol etc. invested in these great events academic exchange would not be better made use in the promotion of the language in Internet, the construction of open and free hardware of education, discussion, audio-visual, papers, wikis colaborativos, networks of experts and interested parties, etc. further away and to reinforce initiatives as the Virtual Center Cervantes.
And to do it so that all his contents promoted and subsidized with public money re-spill straight the citizens, free and open seas for his use. Because the language is a big example of procomún, a good of all.
I hope the tragedy of the earthquake in Chile and the experience of this Virtual Congress of the Language serves to stimulate and to make to rethink a new way of increasing the capitalization, the value and diffusion of the Spanish language in the world and in Internet.
Because the language is alive, and it does not develop only with congresses and communications, but also promoting and helping to the expansion of the quality contents.
