> Hi Pirates,
>
> We're the Tunisian Pirate Party, many of us have been involved for a long
> time already in net freedom, civil rights and hacktivism. For years now,
> we're having this project about doing an international conference on the
> subjects with speakers from countries where internet is censored and
> governments/dictatorships are very oppressive  against freedom of speech and
> civil rights along others from countries were the political situation
> permits free speech, political opposition or some sort of it.
>
> We've advanced on the content of the conference and the way it'll include
> offline and online submission (broadcasted live hopefully). We did not do
> alot of promotion yet as we want this event to be relatively small in
> size nevertheless we've planned to launch a website, engage press relations
> and build up a buzz online. If you feel to join, help or have ideas we'd
> really appreciate that, the tentative dates are December 31st, Jan 2nd.
>
> We're looking for
>  + speakers from pirate parties that could contribute ideas and analysis on
> the above mentioned topics.
>  + an offline venue with reliable internet connection that fits around 50
> people, accessible by airplane, free or inexpensive (west or east europe,
> africa, mediterranean islands).
>  + help in organisation, marketing, housing, connectivity, PR, bringing
> local sponsors (some bucks and ingredients to organize a closing party could
> be helpful).
>
> Well I think that's it, we've got many motivated and talented people that
>  are willing to travel and volunteer. We've got the slides, talks,
> translation resources in arabic, french and english and cheerful ideas to
> spread.  We were thinking of organizing the event in an african country
> (with no cyber censorship) but the travel costs are quiet an issue for most
> of us so europe would be fine. Last but not least we could get some talented
> artists to join in as special guests so that we spend a happy new pirate
> year.
>
> I'm sorry if this email doesn't fit well the list, but we'd really
> appreciate it if you can join us, do something or spread the word.
