Hello all,

Starting tomorrow morning, I will essentially stop maintaining the 
pool.ntp.org project.  Ask Bjørn Hansen has stepped forward to pick up the 
pieces, and I wish him good luck and hope he can continue the project 
successfully.

At this moment, the project has 363 servers, with two servers in new 
countries (Romania and Thailand) being the latest additions.  The 
timekeepers mailing list has 139 subscribers, the timekeepers-announce list 
256; several projects use pool.ntp.org as their default timeserver, I know 
of Debian, at least one of the free BSDs and Gentoo (I think there were 
some more, but I forget.)  It has been very interesting and fun, and a big 
thank you goes to all who helped (too many to name them all - you know who 
you are.)

Users of the pool.ntp.org servers don't need to do anything, people who 
donated servers will not notice anything either, so the transition should 
really be easy.

Technical details:  Starting immediately, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
official contact address will be handled by Ask (I'll keep on getting 
copies of the mail during the transition, but this should be a short 
period.)  The web pages and the mailing lists will stay on my server right 
now, Ask will migrate them over to a different site when it is convenient 
for him to do so.  I will switch the DNS servers tomorrow morning (I'm in 
Europe, so fire up your timezone calculators...), so from then Ask has full 
control over the pool.ntp.org domain.  My DNS server will be a secondary, 
and will allow zone transfers, so configuration on the current secondaries 
is not urgent - Ask will contact you and rearrange everything.

I'll, of course, stay around and am available for questions.  I wish Ask and 
all others good luck with the project.

Greetings from Zürich
Adrian von Bidder
