<div dir="ltr">Eric,<div><br></div><div>I have to agree with Ali on this one. However, I've tempered myself in my old age and rather than getting upset I'd like to offer our services (<a href="http://kili.io">http://kili.io</a>) and would be happy to help out with getting the architecture to a better place by using local cloud hosting. We not only handle complex Kenya-based hosting these days, but can offer full-service deployments for your applications and code.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Most of our code is open source (<a href="https://github.com/kili">https://github.com/kili</a>) and we're a highly transparent organization with great references. Just let me know.</div><div><br></div>

I think however that the community and your customers need to know exactly what happened and what are the mitigating factors going forward that KeNIC will put in place to ensure this doesn't occur in future.
