Hi all,
I would expect everyone on this list is excited about the up coming
LinuxFest, don't forget to bring your GPG key/fingerprint to exchange
with others - and expand the 'web of trust'.
Basically all you need to do is lots of peices of paper with:
---
Your primary email address.
Your full name.
Your key's fingerprint.
---
Also bring two bits of photo ID (depending on who you're asking to sign
your key).
You can get your fingerprint with the command 'gpg --fingerprint
<email-address>'
for example 'gpg --fingerprint [EMAIL PROTECTED]' gives:
---
pub 1024D/575E8783 2000-02-07
Key fingerprint = 90B2 0989 447C 4AB9 1DB5 E90C C0A9 9F2D 575E 8783
uid Simon Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
sub 1024g/16B75E59 2000-02-07

At the LinuxFest you exchange the peices of paper, checking that the person
is who the paper says they are.
We you get home you download the persons key from a key server, sign it
and then upload it back to the keyserver. They will perform the same
actions on your key.
Full instructions can be found here:

So see you all at the show,
Simon.
