Seeing as how I haven't seen anyone else respond....<br>
<br>
I don't know that anyone said the 8th was definitely a go for the<br>
keysigning. We do have the space at SPSU reserved, and if those<br>
participating in the keysigning are willing to do it there, that seems<br>
like a great time to me.<br>
