Kudos for organising it. Unfortunately I wasn't attending yet people have still
signed my key. This defeats the point of the Web-of-Trust and keysigning events.
The key that was signed happened to say "Sam Sargeant". There's nothing to stop
some troublemaker[1] from creating a key and sending it in.
Fortunately it is in fact my key, and perhaps some of the existing signatures
help prove that. It's not the end of the world.
If you ever get asked to sign a key then please be very sure it belong to the
right person. Especially if there are no other signatures.
Can anyone suggest to me why signing this key is a bad idea:

[1] not that Jamie the Troublemaker would do any such thing. :)
