Searching for additional funding, Stenn contacted the Internet Civil Engineering Institute (ICEI) and began working with two of its representatives, Eric S. Raymond and Susan Sons.
Stenn said in a phone interview, "Then all of a sudden I heard they have this great plan to rescue NTP. I wasn't happy with their attitude and approach, because there's a difference between rescuing and offering assistance. [Their plan was] to rescue something, quote unquote, fix it up, and turn it over to a maintenance team."
Most of them, she said, "are older than my father.... [and] are not always up to date on the latest techniques and security issues." Many are burning out from trying to maintain critical code while working full time jobs, and Sons suggested that they "should be retired.
Wow. Keep away from the ICEI I suppose.
- HedgeMage 10y agoI highly recommend that you watch my interview with Mac Slocum (video here: https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-internet-is-going-to-fall-down-if-i-dont-fix-this-susan-sons?imm_mid=0eb1c1&cmp=em-webops-na-na-newsltr_security_20161129 https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-internet-is-going-to-fall-... ) to find out what I actually said, rather than listen to a reporter saying what someone else said I said. I was misquoted.
