[Eric Eisenhart]

WHAT:    NBLUG General Meeting
TOPIC:   GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG/GPG)
SPEAKER: Augie Schwer
WHERE:   O'Reilly and Associates, Sebastopol
         http://nblug.org/directions.cgi
         http://ora.com/oreilly/seb_directions.html
WHEN:    Tuesday, November 12th @ 7:30PM

This is our normal monthly meeting at the normal scheduled time and place.

    GNU Privacy Guard (GPG/GnuPG) is the defacto standard for personal data
    encryption.  It's compatible with the OpenPGP standard.  Augie will be
    talking about the basics of Public Key encryption, how to use gpg 
    directly and several email clients that support gpg.

    After the regular meeting there will be a key signing party; bring photo
    ID and bring a piece of paper with Your Key ID, Key type, HEX
    fingerprint, and Key size printed on it.  Be sure to upload your key
    to a public key server first.  ("gpg --fingerprint <keyid>" printed
    out should do nicely)  Check the talk list for more details.

    Augie is an NBLUG member, a student at Sonoma State and a returning
    NBLUG presenter.
