-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you plan to go to this gpg (pgp) keysigning, please notice: <<<Upload your public key to the biglumber key ring for this event. That's easily done by visiting this page and pasting it into the text box before noon on October 22nd. It is better to upload your key and not attend then to miss attending by missing the cutoff. You can get an ascii version of your key suitable for pasting with the command: gpg --export --armor "Your Name">>> I assume this is to give time to prepare the check sheet and provide greater accuracy, but you may be disappointed if you just show up without submitting your key beforehand to http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=8747 Just thought I'd point that out. :-) Randy > There will be a PGP key-signing held on Thursday, October 23, 2003 > from 7:00pm to 7:30pm in the ACM room on the U of MN campus. > > Full details at: > > http://ry4an.org/keysigning/ > > What's a key-signing? > > A key-signing is a get-together with PGP users for the purpose of > meeting other PGP users and signing each other's keys.
