The date of the 18th is confirmed for installfest.
I wonder how many people use GPG? I don't, really, nor do a few Free Software literate people I've
asked. I use an RSA key for SSH, of course. And x.509 certs just as much (I belong to a PKI
enabled organization). But I'm thinking monkeysphere maybe gives me a reason to have a GPG key that
will make it that much easier to sign email. We'll see.
So if you come to our SFD, KSP, installfest extravaganza here are some tips:
- Make a key. If you already have one but are using SHA-1 or less than a 4096 bit key, think about
transitioning (there's a page on how to do that somewhere). Follow the gnupg.conf advice at
http://keyring.debian.org/creating-key.html.
- Bring your key fingerprint. Best if you can print the fingerprint and uids on slips of paper you
can hand out. (See gpg-key2ps at http://pgp-tools.alioth.debian.org/).
- Bring a photo ID.
Maybe I'll write up how I go about making and securing a key. Then you'll all wish that I had a
blog instead. Or that you knew how to use your kill file.
