We need you for the NTP pool!

Ferdinand Berthoud's marine clock #2

You already know NTP, the protocol that allows your computers to keep an accurate clock. Thanks to a global pool of time servers, it is available to everyone on the Internet. This public pool is constituted by volunteers' servers and it needs more.

So, if you

  • have a server with a decent (as in static address) broadband connection;
  • want to help the Internets;

you should consider joining the pool. It is actually quite easy:

  1. install NTP;
  2. configure it to use five good servers from your region;
  3. register your server.

They should fix their website first, to work with normal browsers again.

Thanks for the notice, I'm going to go through the server setup and pool procedure as soon as I have some spare time for it!
