if you go for morocco it would be cool if you simultaneously did
something small (like on presentation) on moroccan control over
telecommunications in the occupied areas of westsahara(?) i'm given to
understand the gaza strip and western sahara have severely suffering
telecommunications systems for their citizens (partly because of sucky
governance but also) because of the occupational powers.

it doesn't make media sense to hold a north african conference in
europe. my spontaneous assessment would be that it's easier for all
pirate parties to promote the conference if it's organised in africa by
and african pirate party (but i am also not pr genius, and there may be
other considerations i am not aware of).
