I see nobody was interested in my off-topic suggestion, so, here it is
again:

I normally don't get to come to lectures. I suppose I'll come to this
one. I realised that in all the Haifus meetings I don't recall anybody
asking me to sign a OpenPGP key. Nor have I asked anyone to sign my
key(s).

I thus figured it might be a good idea to set-up key signing. After all,
we are relatively well-connected. So, if you have an existing key, and
you want it to be signed by others in the lecture tommorow:

1. (Prefferebly) send me the (public) key (gpg --export KEY_ID).
2. Bring a printed copy of the key's ID (gpg --fingerprint KEY_ID)
   2.1. Maybe bring multiple copies of it in case (1) fails.
        See e.g. gpg-key2ps in the package siging-party (Debian/Ubuntu)
3. Brind a valid ID card (or driver's license or whatever, Should
   identify you, and include a photo).

If you have no idea what I'm  talking about:
* Look it up. 
* http://cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/keysigning_party/en/keysigning_party.html
* If there's enough interest, well:

(I'm not sure I can make such a lecture. Anybody?)
