GENERAL MEETING Lightning Talks / Hackfest / GPG Key Signing

by E Frank Ball III

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 GENERAL MEETING Lightning Talks / Hackfest / GPG Key Signing When: Tue Aug 12, 2014 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM Coordinator: Frank Ball Location: O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA Lightning Talks: Have something you would like to present, but don't have enough material for a full talk? Here's your chance. Talk about anything Linux related. Hackfest: Bring your hardware to get help with it or just to show it off. GPG Key Signing Party: The point of this is to create a web of trust. By signing someone's public key, you state that you have checked that the person that uses a certain keypair, is who he says he is and really is in control of the private key. This way a complete network of people who trust each other can be created. This network is called the Strongly connected set. Information about it can be found at http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/ Before the meeting: Create a GPG keypair, upload your public key to a keyserver, print out the fingerprint, mail it to me (frank(a)nblug.org) and bring copies to the meeting. Details: 1) Generate a public/private keypair with the "ssh-keygen" command (no arguments required), see "man ssh-keygen" for more info. 2)Upload your key to a keyserver: "gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <Key ID>" 3) Print out the key "fingerprint" with "gpg --fingerprint <ID or eMail address>". Also include your full name, email address, and Key ID#. Bring this to the meeting, and optionally make extra copies to hand out. 4) email me at frank(a)nblug.org with the fingerprint, email, full name, and Key ID. I'll have a list of everyone's info to hand out. During the meeting: Verify your GPG key fingerprint on the list I hand out and verify your identity (with photo ID). After the meeting: Download the keys for the fingerprints verified at the meeting, add them to your keyring, sign them, and upload your key again.
