Thanks to all the participants at the ALE
GPG Key Signing Party!  Don't forget to hit
the <http://keyserver.ubuntu.com> site soon
(aka this weekend) and sign the keys on your
lists.

Also, huge thanks to Charles and Jeremy for
presenting some great info and background.

And if you had to miss the party this time,
rest assured that we will be revisiting this
topic again a few months down the road with
a little more lengthy and in depth
presentation.

In the meanwhile there's nothing stopping
anyone from making and using GPG keys outside
of the meetings and asking fellow ALE'ers to
sign them at ALE events  (like the ALE Ubuntu
Install Fest this Saturday).

We'll leave the general instructions posted
for a while.  Only major change is that you
would want to post your public keys directly
with a public keyserver (like the one linked
above) instead of sending them to the
@wittsend.com address.

Charles' excellent step by step directions for
generating and storing keys is here:
