Reminder: Boston Linux Meeting Wed, September 16, 2009 Annual PGP/GnuPG Keysigning Party

[jabr-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (John Abreau)]

A couple things:

1. Currently there are 6 people with keys on the checksheet
for Wednesday's keysigning.. We had some problems with
the signup process a couple weeks ago, but now it's working
correctly.

If you checked the list before we cleared it a couple weeks ago,
you were looking at last year's list, which does no carry over
to this year. If you plan to participate, please check the current
list again, and reregister if your key isn't on the list.


2. The link should be

    http://legacy.blu.org/keysignings/

The list of keys currently on the list is displayed correctly
at the above URI, but not on the below URI.
