If you intended to get in on the keysigning Thursday night this is the 
last call. After I get off work and home this evening I'll be generating 
the master list. Currently only 3 other people have uploaded keys to the 
event keyring as of this morning. I'll have the master list generated 
and available at the URL mentioned in the original posting by late this 
evening I will not make any updates to it after posting it to make sure 
everyone that has it has the same version.

Regards,
Jeremy
