hi all,

at the end of the last meeting I said that I planned to hold a
mini-keysigning.

If you are interested, please reply to this email, so I can get an idea
of how many people really are interested. It might be 0, 5, 10 or 20.
I'm really not sure. :-)

My presentation (presented last meeting) on GPG is available below, if
you want to learn how to use GPG, and what it is for.

And here are the keysigning instructions:
---

1) Setup a key, and upload it to a GPG key server. For simplicity,
everyone should use the same server “pgp.mit.edu”. To upload your key to
that server:
gpg --keyserver=pgp.mit.edu --send-keys keyid


2) Make a business card, or a strip of paper with either your key ID or
email address and your GPG fingerprint on it.

3) Bring plenty of those cards to the next meeting. Use the number of
replies + 5 to gauge the number to bring.

4) At the meeting, everyone with a GPG key can get together, hand each
other cards, and then go home, sign the keys, and upload the signed key
to the same server. Details on the after-meeting part will be posted to
this list after the meeting.


The main thing you need by the meeting to get the key setup, and
uploaded to the keyserver. After the meeting comes the more complex part
of keysigning.


If you get stuck, please just send me an email.


thanks,
