RT @mwagiru: This is how the #IEBC service were inter connected to the Safaricom network #kenyavotes2013 https://twitter.com/kisstvn... Cc. @whiteafrican
RT @roomthinker: Systems = technology + processes + people When systems fail, don’t rush to blame the tech When they work, don’t rush to praise the tech
RT @damiancook: We are looking for the best African home grown travel technology to be awarded $10,000 #AfricaAppQuest : http://www.e-tourismfrontiers.com/interac...
Even though the IEBC tech side failed, they’re doing a commendable job on a very difficult task. Hard decisions. #KenyaDecides
Updates on IEBC tech, going manual and who’s doing what: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/post... #KenyaDecides
RT @roomthinker: Designing scalable, secure and robust systems is an art. And a science. And so is reengineering and optimizing processes.
RT @matrixster: Good people. Let's demand explanations for inefficiencies of IEBC once we have the results. For now, let's be calm and cooperate.
Good update on actual issues with IEBC technical problems from a 4am press meeting: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/post... #KenyaDecides
A message from @SafaricomLtd CEO on their role in the IEBC tech project: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/post... #KenyaDecides
RT @wanjiku: @SafaricomLtd has just issued a press statement indicating that it was not involved in the IEBC software design, only bandwith, phones
The problem isn’t @IEBCpage tech issues, that *always* happens, it’s about transparency of the system. #KenyaDecides
I’ve updated the IEBC tech info at http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/ with the RFP from IEBC and Safaricom’s role #KenyaDecides
RT @roomthinker: Take a look at the IEBC spec document http://buyersguide.ifes.org/procure... The test plan & schema make for interesting reading
I’ve posted some questions, my source links, and thoughts on the IEBC data flow. Help answer them: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/ #KenyaDecides
Outstanding question, “who actually developed the phone and sever side software?” for IEBC? #KenyaDecides
Here is the path for the data, from the polling station to the IEBC API - http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/post... #KenyaDecides
Now we know Google is hosting the website, Safaricom handles the messages and VPN, Next Technologies does what? #KenyaDecides
We know Safaricom and Next Technologies is involved in the electronic poll tally. How is Google? SevenSeas? #KenyaDecides
Specifically, I’d like to better understand the exact data flow from polling station to the @IEBCpage API. #KenyaDecides
Does anyone have a clear overview of which companies are involved with IEBC on the tech/data flow? #KenyaDecides
Great work from @jeffUIX and @ckithika for this mobile friendly IEBC API data http://results.uchaguzi.co.ke/ #KenyaDecides
