Network Time Foundation (NTF) Network Time Foundation was founded in 2011 by Harlan Stenn in an effort to provide direct services and improve the state of accurate computer network timekeeping for the general community, and received its non-profit public benefit 501(c)(3) status in July, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/pub78Search.do?ein1=&names=%22network+time+foundation%22&city=&state=All...&country=US&deductibility=all&dispatchMethod=searchCharities&submitName=Search )〕 NTF has brought several Network Time Open Source Software projects together to focus on accurate timekeeping for computers and other devices, usually those that are networked or are otherwise communicating together. A core belief at NTF is that correct time on a computer is crucial to properly sequencing and knowing when events happen. Network Time Foundation provides tools that keep correct time, driving standards with the IETF for time keeping, and educating the public on the importance of correct time. == About == Network Time Foundation (NTF) is focused on supporting the efforts of synchronizing computer time, via protocol development and definition, software, and documentation. Well-kept and synchronized time builds trust in people and organizations regarding the accuracy and reliability of their operations. NTF’s projects and efforts help computers and devices on different networks to effectively share resources and information, thus reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and synchronizing time data across interacting systems. The synchronization of time data ensures reliable and accurate timestamps. Without the correct synchronization of network time, performing analysis, audits, investigative efforts, and other studies that require piecing together correct sequences of events based on timestamps would be impossible. The goal of NTF is to provide direct services and support to improve the accuracy and reliability of computer network timekeeping. Toward this end, NTF leverages the collaborative strengths and emergent properties that derive from having several similar (but not identical) projects share information and resources to provide exceptional quality and value. Support of NTF’s mission is manifested in the provision of the financial and material resources required by Project Managers to accomplish the goals of their projects. The goals of these projects are to provide accurate time for applications that are used by people for safety, financial, defense, scientific, educational, health, and other purposes. Network Time Foundation received non-profit status in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizapedia.com/or/NETWORK-TIME-FOUNDATION-INC.html )〕 OSU Open Source Labs hosts NTF’s core infrastructure on virtual machines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://osuosl.org/communities )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Network Time Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
