Trevor, I ran the keysigning party last year and intend to do so again this year (this time with more than a week's preparation).  I haven't started to get the fine details together yet, but we (many of the people that made assurer status last year intend to return and help out) were tentatively thinking something along the lines of splitting this up a little bit.  I'd like to move the identity verification portion out either to a common area like the lobby or into a nearby room (ideally where we can re-arrange the tables to form some lines).  I was also thinking that we should extend the total event into two panels (CAcert.org registration, identity verification, forms, etc. for the first -- and a lab-style walkthrough with GnuPG + classroom instruction w/ theory for the second). Depending on the number of interested parties, I might also be able to pull together an advanced session on Friday evening (or early Saturday morning) for those aiming for assurer status or developing PKI/WoT solutions for business, etc.  I was also considering an RPM version of last year's package jam, but I don't think I could pull both off.  So, it's going to take me a little while to decide on this one. The ribbons were a really nice touch last year (although it took me something like two hours to track down who they had came from).  Thank you again!  I've got a few ideas for some more unique ones relating to these panels this year, but I'd rather not discuss those openly on the list :). I've got plenty of time on the ribbons, right?  Can I get back to you about all this next week after I talk to everyone, get an idea of the facilities layout, etc? <div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/15 Trevor Jagoda <<a href="mailto:trevor.jagoda@gmail.com">trevor.jagoda@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hello!  I am Trevor Jagoda, the head of PenguiCon 7.0's Tech Track.  Why am I harassing your mailing lists, you say?  It's quite simple, I need more presentations and panels!  So, if any of you out there would like to present your hobbies, interests, knowledge(s), or frighteningly-hacked-together homebrew contraptions at PenguiCon, e-mail me!   Send a panel/talk/event/activity title to "<a href="mailto:trevor.jagoda@gmail.com" target="_blank">trevor.jagoda@gmail.com</a>", along with a small descriptive blurb, and a list of the participants (list of participants is not needed if you are doing a solo-talk), and we'll get you scheduled into the fun!  Separately, I know last year's key signing party was a pretty huge hit.  If the GLLUG-affiliated computer lounge administrators are on this list, are you guys all set to go at that again this year?  I will order the appropriate ribbons if so.  Thanks, Trevor Jagoda Tech Track Head PenguiCon 7.0 _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user" target="_blank">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </blockquote></div>
