[BLU/Officers] is there key-signing pre-talk? with speaker?

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

Well, we need sufficient time for the keysigning procedure, so the talk
needs to be shorter than normal. It needs to convey what a keysigning
party is for, so newbies can understand why we're doing one.

I'm guessing that a 45-minute talk should leave us enough time
to start the keysigning procedure by 8:15 or so.  Is 45 minutes enough
time to cover both the historical stuff and the basics of PGP?
