Instructions for listed participants:

  1. Print out this page. Verify your own key fingerprint against the one shown. (gpg --fingerprint "your@email.address" displays it.) Bring your printout and your photo ID to the keysigning. (Or don't bring this page, but bring photo ID and some copy of your own key fingerprint for your reference. I'll bring printouts of this page.)

  2. During the keysigning, as each participant passes around his/her photo ID, put a checkmark in the right column, if he/she seems to be who he/she claims.

  3. As each participant reads his/her key fingerprint out-loud, verify that it matches this printout. Put a checkmark in the left column, if it does.

  4. Don't lose your printout. ;-)

  5. After the keysigning, download the keysigning keyring (pubring.gpg) from http://linuxmafia.com/gpg/ . Import it to your own keyring by doing "gpg --import ./pubring.gpg". While checking keyIDs and signatures against your printout, "sign" each participant's key whom you've properly verified (dual checkmarks), as follows:

    gpg --sign-key [keyID]

    ...for each keyID.

  6. Then, either send the signatures to me (rick@linuxmafia.com) or to a public keyserver such as pgp.dtype.org[1]:

    gpg --armor --export [list of key IDs, w/spaces between] > keysigning.gpg

    ...and then e-mail me keysigning.gpg

    or

    gpg --keyserver pgp.dtype.org --send-key [key ID]

    ...to submit your signature directly to the keyserver.

[1] 2018 addendum: Drew Streib's pgp.dtype.org public keyserver has been out of commission for many years. For current pointers to public keyservers, along with discussion of their advantages, disadvantages, and other traits, see the Wikipedia page. One reasonable option among many is pgp.surfnet.nl .

I should also add that the use of 1024-bit DSA keys shown below, while still valid, is a historical artifact, and the best-practices key algorithm now recommended (and modern GnuPG releases' default choice) is 2048-bit RSA.
