The default value for the ntp_timezone variable is set to America/Chicago in defaults/main.yml.

I would suggest using ntp_timezone: Etc/UTC as the default.

Etc/UTC is the default value for most server installations (et least for official Ubuntu images in AWS, also Rackspace and Linode Ubuntu installations) .
IMHO, Etc/UTC is also the most frequently used value from global point of view (a sysadmin having servers in multiple timezones).

We discussed this a little during the last PR. I agree this is probably the best, most universal setting for the default value. I would recommend this change.

Ditto. I was being quite midwest-US-centric in my default, but to be fair, I started the role for myself and never thought about other's needs :D

And of course I forgot to close this issue... so closing it now, on the US Independence Day :)
