​The mention of DevConMru was already irrelavant to the ongoing discussion
of .mu ccTLD. JoKi started the Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community
and has iterated over dozens of times that the community is for everyone;
anyone can take initiatives. How many Mauritians chipped in to help?

JoKi has a company incorporated in Mauritius and he runs a business while
employing Mauritians. Is that a trouble to anyone?

Coming to DevCon, JoKi took the initiative to organize it and seeked help
from craftsmen around the island. _at_Ronny, are you as a Mauritian helping
him? _at_Logan, are you as a Mauritian helping him? If you are very concerned
about the security stuffs then I suggest you look at the team of CERT-MU :-)

Oh, please don't go on saying let's appoint SM, Logan for CERT-MU now. At
some point you need to realize one man can't be everywhere but rather
channel the energy to improve the community. SM has taught me a lot and I
respect that. I've already backed him up but I don't keep playing like a
broken radio. We need to behave like a community mentoring each and
everyone wishing to help.

I would not take examples from US or Russia as to how they operate their
security stuffs. I'll say ​again we fix our problems, if we do not have the
expertise, then we gain the expertise and then we fix.
