[plug-announce] [Fwd: LISA Keysigning Wed., Nov 6, 8-9 PM]

["Michael Leone" <turgon@mike-leone.com>]

The LISA conference, sponsered by the USENIX Organization
(<http://www.usenix.org>) is an annual event, focusing on System
Administration. This year, it is being held in Phiuladelphia, at the
Convention Center. There will also be a GPG/PGP keysigning held there
this year. Come and have your key cross-signed by your fellow Linux/Unix
administrators, and expand the web of trust. The following is a short
note from Martin Krafft, a former member of PLUG, who is helping to
organize the keysigning this year, along with condensed posts from other
PLUG members.

For anyone using Debian, there's a module called
"signing-party" ("apt-get install signing-party") which includes a
useful little program called "gpg-key2ps".  gpg-key2ps creates a
postscript file with as many copies of your GPG fingerprint as will fit
on a page.  You can then cut them up and distribute them at the
keysigning party.
