I got this answer today: > Sorry about the late response. I really wanted someone from the ubuntu project to set it up -- but I guess that's not forthcoming, so I approved the zone anyway and we'll see what happens.

I guess it could greatly simplify the GUI, too... I think it could be a good idea to put a note in the conf file to recommend people to join the pool. Maybe ntp.ubuntu.com could be included? Finally, the developer of the pool mentioned wishing a contact from the Ubuntu project to be involved… who should be contacted? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104525 Title: default ntp.conf should use pool.ntp.org servers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
