</div>No, it won't be at the usual place. Others are making arrangements and<br>
I heard references to December 8. Others will have to post the details.<br>
I'm just dealing with the keyring and the some of the operational<br>
issues.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I would like to join in on this, I'm a little lost though. I've figured out how to generate a key for each of my email addresses but I'm not sure where to find the files I'm supposed to upload to biglumber. I thought it might have been ~/.gnupg but there were no ascii files in there that looked like keys. Can someone help me find the files I need? If it helps I'm running CentOS 5.6<br clear="all">
