-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 LUG-Fest (Linux User's Group Festival) an expo style event for Linux users in the bay area is going to hold a large keysigning party. If any cypherpunks are interested in attending here is the relevant information: LUG Fest April 21-22, 2001 at Nortel Networks, Simi Valley, CA, USA! Keysigning Party Press Release: http://www.lugfest.org/gpg.cgi "Sunday, April 22nd, 2001, 12:30 p.m, the Simi Valley Linux Users group will hold a GPG/PGP Key signing party during LUGFest IV. LUGFest IV will be held at Nortel Networks in Simi Valley, CA. The LUGFest and the key signing party are open to the public, all are welcome to attend." The lugfest press release links to the GnuPG Keysigning Party HOWTO, which I wrote. Constructive criticism of that document is appreciated. I posted in here once before for review and got some good feed back. It lives at: http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html I've been trying to get LUGs (linux user groups) around the country to start holding regular keysigning parties in the last 5 minutes of their meetings. LUGs exist in every major metro area in the US and meet regularly. They are capable a providing an excellent backbone (infrastructure support) for a strong nation wide web of trust. Local webs of trust formed by lugs can be linked at conferences like LUG-Fest. I strongly urge everyone who can to participate in the LUG-Fest party, and to thank LUG-Fest for holding it. Also, if you are a member of your local LUG, I urge you to help it establish a keysigning tradition and a strong web of trust. Thanks, - VAB -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iD8DBQE62vWt+pIJc5kqSz8RArvHAJ4+nN/IBDjWIpEUWoU61m3Eo3NzuwCeJGcg 6DiqV+fs2HWcE5oxmrtxbfc= =bCzD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
