Keysigning ---------- A few people have already sent in their GPG key for signing. If you wish to participate in the keysigning, email your ascii armoured public key to [email protected] with the subject "KEYSIGNING" Use the command: gpg --armor --export substitute-your-key-id | mail -s "KEYSIGNING" [email protected] (You can find your own key using the command: gpg --list-secret-keys) Shortly before the event, we will publish the list of keys and the SHA1 and MD5 checksums. You should print out the list, and verify the checksum of your own key, and the checksum of the list. Bring the printed list with you. Copies will not be available at the meeting! Some hackers have a policy only to sign keys having seen a passport or other form of identification of the owner - so please bring such ID with you! If you have no idea what a PGP key is, or why you should have it signed, please see http://emailselfdefense.fsf.org Food ---- Since the meeting takes place during the semester-break, the canteen at TUM will be closed. However, you will not starve! The organisers are considering various options to ensure that refreshments will be available, one way or another. To assist with planning, if you have special dietary needs please email them to [email protected] if you have not already done so. Getting there ------------- Most people will probably be staying in accommodation in Garching, which is a few kilometers from where the meeting is to be held. get to and from your hotel to the meeting, you will need to travel one stop on the U-Bahn (between Garching and Garching-Forschungszentrum). The most economical ticket to buy is probably a "Streifenkarte" which is valid for 10 "rides", and must be "validated" before each ride. You can share one with a friend, validate one for each person. To get to Garching from Munich train station (either from Hauptbahnhof or Ostbahnhof) take the S-Bahn (any line) to Marienplatz and then the U-Bahn line U6. If coming from Munich Airport, take the S8 to Issmanning, and then bus number 230 to Garching.
