 Anyone know where they usually hang out?

gpsd has its own mailing list, which is where support is offered, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .  All of the maintainers/developers are 
subscribed to it.

 Hi,
 
 Today I found why my gps receiver stopped working last newyears eve.
 
 Apparently gpsd has a leapyear bug (repaired on january 1st). Thus it
 reported a january 21 while it still was january 20. Which was discarded
 by ntp. After compiling the new version of gpsd, my PC once again has
 submillisecond accuracy ;)
 
 The PC was running Debian stable, with gpsd from the Debian repositories.
 The PC is still running Debian stable, but with a self compiled version of
 gpsd. In the mean time I did inform the Debian maintainer by mail.
 
 Thus, if you use gpsd to feed ntpd with the correct time, either wait
 untill february 29, or find yourself a better gpsd.

Yep, I heard about this through the gpsd mailing list, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .  It was reported on Jan 1, and gpsd 2.36 was 
released as an emergency fix.  So upgrade to gpsd 2.36, if you haven't already.

You can view the gpsd mailing list archives to read the emails on it:

It would be useful to compile a list of related projects like this so 
that we can find the right people. chrony and openntp fall into this 
category.
