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 at 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 at 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.
