Howdy all, We have been discussing the idea of regular GPG keysigning parties for our group.
A keysigning party is an opportunity to efficiently use a gathering of people to perform the necessary steps in verifying the identity of GPG key holders <URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party>. There is a good site <URL:http://keysigning.org/> which is a repository of information on what a keysigning party is and, importantly, what people need to know in order to prepare and participate. I think we will use some middle ground between the “Sassaman” <URL:http://keysigning.org/methods/sassaman-efficient> and “Ad hoc” <URL:http://keysigning.org/methods/adhoc>>. Specifically, I think the party will be small enough to use Ad hoc, but the central point of contact to co-ordinate the participating keys will be helpful. Adam Bolte has offered to give more information and co-ordinate, but I'm happy to answer questions here too. -- \ “By instructing students how to learn, unlearn, and relearn, a | `\ powerful new dimension can be added to education.” —Alvin | _o__) Toffler, _Future Shock_, 1970 | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
