Jonathan McDowell: DebConf 23 Key Signing + setting up a new key
I’ve just finalised the OpenPGP key list for the DebConf 23 Keysigning party. This will follow the “new style” approach of being a continuous keysigning throughout the course of the conference, with an introduction session up front to confirm no one’s fingerprint is corrupted and that we all calculated the same hash of the file. Participants will then verify each other’s identities over the conference week, hopefully being able to build up a better level of verification than a one shot key signing session.
