Comment 26 for bug 104525

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.

And in another email:

So we just have to change that in ntp.conf. 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?
