>Subject: [OCLUG-Tech] October Meeting: GPG Overview and Keysigning
> 
>Just a reminder that next week the meeting topic will be a GPG overview and a GPG keysigning. If you want to participate in the keysigning, it's more interactive than a talk and you will need a few prepared items:
>
>* A previously generated key you plan on using
>* One, preferably two pieces of picture ID to prove you are who you say you are
>* Your key information (fingerprint and uid)
>
>Ideally, you should bring small pieces of paper with your name and pgp key fingerprint on them to hand out to people. You can include a small "verified" checkbox that someone can mark if they choose to check identification.
>
>Method:
>* Generate your fingerprint and paste it into a file
>* Copy and paste until you have filled a sheet of paper
>* Cut into strips to hand out.
>
>For example, I'd have the following:
>
>gpg --fingerprint scott [ dot ] murphy [ at ] arrow-eye [ dot ] com
>pub   1024D/C52FF996 2001-03-19
>      Key fingerprint = DBC8 F89C 5F66 8A96 2414  F97D 3F0D 382D C52F F996
>      (extra info removed)
>
>So I'd fill the paper with:
>
>scott [ dot ] murphy [ at ] arrow-eye [ dot ] com C52FF996 Key fingerprint = DBC8 F89C 5F66 8A96 2414  F97D 3F0D 382D C52F F996  - [ ] Checked

>and cut it into strips to pass out at the keysigning
