What is the next meeting about?
Our group prides itself in being a "functional anarchy" -- which means the responsibility to find and secure a presenter for any given month falls to "everybody". Note that while technically this would only be "somebody", and in theory could actually be "anybody", often, in practice, it ends up being "nobody"...

Keysigning at the meetings
If you have a PGP/GPG "key" that hasn't had a new signature on it for the last year or so, time to dust it off and attend a meeting. If you don't have a key, (and don't know why you might want one) head on over to the the Gnu Privacy Guard FAQ page for some reasons why it's a good thing to have.

Generally, I will be on hand to sign your key(s), and ask that you do the same in return. The recommended method is to post your "key" to a public server, and print your "fingerprint" on a business card or regular paper cut into strips. At the meeting, we will exchange fingerprints and verify, as needed, that each of us is who we say we are. After the meeting, download the "key", add your signature, and re-upload it to the server. Your new "signature" on the key will be merged with the existing key and thus available for others to expand their "web of trust"

A note to the mailing list in advance of the meeting would be helpful (if nothing else, to remind ME to bring my "fingerprint" slips)

 

Mailing lists

The SGVLUG general discussion list
You can join by going to the SGVLUG e-mail sign-up page

In mid-2005, we switched to a different mailing list manager. As a result, we now maintain an archive of all messages posted to the list.  If you are concerned about the possibility that your e-mail address might become "harvested" because it is on a web page, see this item in the FAQs about "how to avoid having your e-mail archived"
