New home for time zone stuff by 2012?
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

I'll be eligible to start drawing a pension in mid-2012. Since I'm accustomed to slow-moving Quaker process, that makes it time to get serious about finding a new home for time zone stuff. There are several pieces of the puzzle (some of which haven't seen much work of late): Data maintenance Data distribution Code maintenance Code distribution Mailing list maintenance Mailing list hosting Standards work (for example, tweaking POSIX TZ environment variables so Godthab can be represented) Code enhancement (for example, year zero work and Julian calendar work) There are different types of landing place: Governmental organizations Non-governmental organizations Commercial entities Volunteers Everything could be moved under one new roof or different pieces might go different places. While I'm happy to continue time zone work in the future, I also understand that it may be best for others to do the work. Anyone? Bueller? --ado

HTTP Mirror Link Broken?
by Bill Seymour Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

On http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm , the "HTTP mirror" link, http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/timezone , doesn't seem to be a mirror anymore. Is there a way to get the tarballs via HTTP? (My company doesn't allow outside FTP due to Management FUD.) Thanks, --Bill Seymour
