Hey there Planning Gurus!
I have mentioned in the past (and I see it made it to the Dropbox on our
wiki) that we should have not only a talk about cryptography and uses of
GPG, but a key signing as well.
Back in 2000, Tom Rothamel, LILUG's first VP, gave a 3-part talk on GPG,
and Jeff Sipek did a 2-parter in 2006.
I'd like to revive the talks that they gave, and do this in May and in
June this year.
I'd present the basic concepts and such, including what this whole
"trust" thing is all about in May, and then give instructions to people
on how they can create their own keypair and what they have to do to
sign off on other's keys, then do the key signing itself, plus complete
the talk, in June.
We should also consider making key signing a regular event at LILUG -
maybe we could do it every 6 months or something like that.
If you guys think that's a cool idea for a talk, let me know (if you
already have someone lined up for either May and/or June already, I can
shift further down into the year, but wanted the talks to happen on
consecutive months).
Cheers,
Matt S
LILUG Secretary
