Report from the 20160501 F2F

[Mark Atwood]

The F2F meeting was held on 20160601 at Penguicon.

The official capitalization of the name of the project is NTPsec, inspired
by DNSsec.

It is recommended but not required that NTPsec developers have Whisper
Systems Signal installed on their Android and iOS devices.

Susan Sons has stepped down as security officer.  She doesn't get off
scott-free, she is now a security officer emeritus.

Daniel Franke is now the security officer.  Thank you Daniel.

Until sufficient headaround can be applied to the code, work on TESTFRAME
will be temporarily suspended.  Eric will explore Mozilla RR as a working
alternative.  The long term plan remains the TESTFRAME plan.

The autokey feature will be removed from NTPsec.  The cryptography of
autokey is known to be broken.  Also NTF NTP Classic advises against
autokey.

A from-scratch proven and verified C implementation of "simple NTP
broadcast client" will be written.  Lead on that project will be Daniel.

Once the replacement broadcast client is written, the broadcast client
feature will be removed from NTPsec.

The diag dump "nameless horror" shall be removed from NTPsec.

The waf replay branch work will be reignited.  The goal will be to end up
with a working waf build working at points after the time of the initial
fork.



Thank you everyone!
