ntpd-rs: Folkert explains the project (video)
At the GOSIM Conference in Shanghai, last September, I had the opportunity to talk about ntpd-rs, our project implementing the Network Time Protocol.

In this video, I explain the following things about ntpd-rs;

  • What is it?
  • Why are we building it in Rust?
  • Is it coming to Debian and Fedora?
  • What's the status?

GOSIM

The video was recorded on 26 September 2023, at the Rust track of the GOSIM Conference in Shanghai. GOSIM, the Global Open Source Innovation Meetup, is "a platform dedicated to nurturing the brightest grassroots open-source projects from their inception to maturity".

Ntpd-rs

Ntpd-rs is an open-source implementation of the Network Time Protocol in Rust. It's part of our time synchronisation project Pendulum. You can check out the repo on Github, or read more about ntpd-rs in our various blogs.
