Dear POP Partners:

Due to an unexpected technical glitch upstream, https://uncp.pop.meru.host/ is temporarily down.

Our developer explains that early this morning, "Meru's upstream host, Digital Ocean, re-deployed the API as part of routine maintenance. That deployment failed due to an internal error on Digital Ocean's side, and our subsequent attempts to deploy are failing, which means we have to open a ticket with Digital Ocean. It could take them some hours to respond. In the meantime, we're trying to see if there's another way to resolve this that doesn't involve going through Digital Ocean."

We currently expect this issue to be resolve within a few hours and will send an updated ETA on the resolution before the end of business today either way.

Please feel free to forward any queries about the site to me or Caroline.

Best,
Stacy

Good afternoon,

Meru is now back up, and our developer reports that the issue is resolved. 
In fact, in the process of resolving the issue, they found an opportunity to further enhance the site's overall performance. Until they are done implementing that enhancement, they cautioned that there may be one or two more blips. I'll confirm when that process is complete. In the meantime, please report any glitches you may encounter to us.

Thanks,
Stacy
