Ernesto,
Gracias por la corrección. That was my mistake. You are much kinder than my grammar teacher, profesora Mencía, who would be pulling out her ruler right about now!

This is great. Can we edit the Spanish title so it says "minimal" and not "mínimal"? Also, titles in Spanish do not capitalise each noun. But the important bit is the accent: though the RAE does not list it, "minimal" is used as an adjective without the accent. Another alternative would be "Computación minimalista". In music it's normal usage it to translate, for example, "minimal techno" as "tecno minimal".Ernesto

Initial Co-Chairs: Jentery Sayers (University of Victoria) and John Simpson (University of Alberta)
Members: Alex Gil (Columbia), Daniel O’Donnell (University of Lethbridge), and Jon Saklofske (Acadia University)
Description: This is a new working group looking at various aspects of technology in an international context. Questions it hopes to consider include:
* In digital humanities and other computing contexts, what is being done with what technologies, how, and why?
* What are best practices for application construction in order to maximize availability, decrease obsolescence, and reduce e-waste?
* How and in what ways does experience in mid- and low-income economies inform ongoing assumptions about how research and collaboration are conducted in high-income economies?
* In terms of computing and culture, what meaningful differences emerge across economical, infrastructural, and material conditions?

Descripción: Este es un grupo de trabajo que examina diferentes aspectos del uso de la tecnología en un ambito internacional. Entre las preguntas que se plantea:
* ¿En las humanidades digitales y otros contextos computacionales, que se esta haciendo con las nuevas tecnologías? ¿Como? ¿Por qué?
* ¿Que prácticas se recomiendan para la construcción de programas que ofrezcan el mayor alcance, minimicen la obsolescencia y reduzcan la e-basura?
* ¿De que manera las experiencias de las economias de bajos recursos, independientes del pais, puedan ayudar lo que se toma por hecho en las economias de alto ingreso?
* ¿En términos de computación y cultura, cuales son las mayores diferencias que surgen en diferentes condiciones económicas, infraestructurales y materiales?
