I will be attending the Linux Symposium/2009 in Montreal in under a month. It’s been for for 11 years now, and I am looking forward to the break from work.

I hear that the conference is not yet sold out… so you can still attend.

I found the official schedule really hard to print. Here is a 1-page schedule.pdf and the original OOo spreadsheet.

I think this year’s key post-keysigning-party work was the least effort ever. I wanted to write down the procedure for anyone interested.

First a few assumptions:

• you have been given a file that contains the fingerprints and names of everyone that attended the keysigning party,
• you verified the file’s sha1 sum at the event,
• this file’s sha1 sum was verified at the event by everyone whose keys you want to sign,
• you trust that the people whose keys you are signing did not lie about checking the sha1 sum of the file.

A tool that make sthings easier is caff and gpg-agent.
