Hi all; I haven't seen the agenda yet, but if there is time & interest, I would be willing to organize a PGP key-signing party.
Signify interest by mailing your key -- or a pointer to it -- to me by Friday. Come to the c'punks meeting with photo ID and your PGP fingerprint.
"Sigh." Why do people persist in thinking that a photo ID is useful for PGP keysignings? I view a keysigning as saying that the person I know as "Lucky Green" is asking me to sign the key he presents as his key, not whether Missouri issued him a driver's license in that name, nor whether the company he worked for in Munich issued him a photo ID under than name. This is what the "web of trust" is all about. It is _not_ about True Names as proved by photo IDs. (However, for those lacking photo IDs sufficient for Ed's purposes, I'm asking Eric Hughes (not his True Name) if I can borrow his badge laminator. I'll set it up outside the keysigning room. Bring a photo of some sort and I'll make you a Yoyodyne Corporation employee badge.) --Tim May (not his True Name) There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
