As of a couple years ago development of ntp was largely performed by one Harlan Stenn. He (and the funding issues around ntp) made the news a while back, but the guy probably deserves even more visibility, given the crucial nature of his work.

- bradknowles 8y agoIndeed, Harlan and the Network Time Foundation (nwtime.org) are continuing to work on the NTP protocol and related subjects. And more support is most definitely always welcome!
- bradknowles 8y agoNB: I am an unpaid volunteer for the NTF and the NTP Public Services Project at ntp.org.
- robertk 8y agoNotoriety means infamy, or the state of being well known for something terrible. Did you mean a different word?
- nategri 8y agoThank you, yes, it's been corrected---"visibility" serves the purpose I intended.
- nkkollaw 8y agoReally? I didn't know that,in Italian it a similar word translates into "famous". I wonder how many times I've used it incorrectly...
- cperciva 8y ago"Notorious" does mean "famous", but it carries the added implication of being famous for being bad. I suspect the meaning has changed over time, just like "awful" used to mean "awe-inspiring".
- wafflesindeed 8y agoI think you mean awesome? Or have I been wrong all along?
