Wineconf 06 Keysigning

[David Gümbel]

Hi,


at Wineconf 2005, we've had a quite successful GPG key signing party. Thus, 
I'd like to volunteer for organizing a GPG keysigning party at Wineconf 
2006 as well. Quoting last year's party organizer (Shachar Shemesh), anyone 
who wishes to participate, please:

   1. Have a PGP key. You can generate one for yourself using gpg.
   2. Send the PGP (public) key and its finger print to me AT THE VERY
      LATEST ON TUESDAY 12. Any later then that, and it is not certain that
      we'll manage to get your key on the printed piece of paper that is
      necessary for carrying out the party.
   3. Bring a copy you can trust to wineconf, to make sure other people are
      really signing your key (i.e. - that I'm not pulling anybody's leg).
   4. Bring an identifying ID to wineconf. Two is preferable. Passport or a
      driver license in a language people can read. If you can only bring
      one, a passport is definitely preferable.

The full details of what a key signing party is, why are the procedures as 
they are, and what's so important about *not* signing the keys with your 
laptop at the party can be found at 
http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html

Note: No aliases on PGP keys. If your PGP key says "lord master of compiler 
optimization", then your passport had better say the same or no one will be 
able to sign your key. Also, if you DON'T want the key published to a key 
server, please let me know well in advance. Obviously, your key will be 
published to all the people present at the key party. If your name's not 
there on your email headers, include it in the body. The name must be the 
same as appears on your formal IDs.

The purpose of a pgp signing party is to establish a link between your 
virtual identity (your key) and your real one (as verified by an ID). For 
that reason it is impossible to participate by proxy, or under an alias.


Cheers



David
