[gentoo-user] [OT] PGP User Groups?

Hello list,

I've noticed that with linux geekery comes the pursuit of PGP-based
email privacy.  A great many frequent posters to this illustrious list
boast PGP keypairs and frequently sign their correspondences.  Some of
you even have photo ID's of yourselves in your public keys!  (Hello Neil!)

Unfortunately, like many of you, I am not an international spy and don't
have much to protect with this awesome encryption technology.  This
leads me to wonder if anyone has ever heard of any PGP user groups that
frequently employ encryption and do key signing and the like?

Thanks guys!

DC

Both Linux User Groups that I'm in have PGP key signings on a regular
basis.  I think that starts to answer your question...

My main concern is verification. If it ain't signed by me, you can't
assume it is from me.

Many LUGs have regular key-signing sessions.
