NTP's Fate Hinges On 'Father Time' (InformationWeek)
InformationWeek has a
lengthy look at the maintenance of the network time protocol (NTP)
code. "Not all is well within the NTP open source project. The
number of volunteer contributors -- those who submit code for periodic
updates, examine bug reports, and write fixes -- has shrunk over its long
lifespan, even as its importance has increased. Its ongoing development and
maintenance now rest mostly on the shoulders of [Harlan] Stenn, and that's
why NTP
faces a turning point. Stenn, who also works sporadically on his own
consulting business, has given himself a deadline: Garner more financial
support by April, 'or look for regular work.'"
