Ubuntu Fredericton Key Signing Meeting

[Joel Goguen]

We do this to establish a web of trust.  Signing a key indicates that you
trust that the key belongs to the person named in the User ID field.  It's
also useful for times when you can't get to the person to verify their key
properties.  Let's say I've verified someone's key and signed it, but for
whatever reason you can't get to that person.  You trust me, however, and
you know that I've done the checking, so you could use the concept of a
"trusted introducer" and sign this person's key based on my verification. 
At least, that's how I understand trusted introducer, I could be wrong
about the name, but the method could be used.

All the commands you need are up on the event page:

The goal of Computer Science is to build something that
will last at least until we've finished building it.
