Good to know - I hadn=B9t heard about that discussion! Hmm, ja it=B9s actually probably actually cheaper for SA people to get to Europe than Morocco but still definitely good for the continent and ASF community at large. I presume this was coming out of there being Moroccan people in ASF? - If you=B9re on this list lets talk! :) I=B9d support either, or even maybe Nigeria or Kenya. I suppose Morocco ha= s the advantage of easy access for EU people but I suspect the Linux Foundation would make more money hosting in SA - just a gut instinct, could be wrong about that, but I think it would attract more local attendees than elsewhere!
