	Yes, we had a decent turnout and had zero no-shows so that was great.
We got through it all rather painlessly and efficiently while still
having a good time.

	Glad I was able to step up and help to ensure it took place after
Mike's "yard work accident"...

	I know there appeared to be some interest in my key management
practices but not enough time, and I wasn't fully prepared to
demonstrate. If there's enough interest I would be willing to put
together something more than a "GPG 101" discussion.

	While I can't commit to making an appearance at the Ubuntu Install
Fest, if I've got time and nothing else pressing Saturday I will try to
make it there. If I do I'm more than willing to exchange key information
with anyone that wants to. I'm not beneath GPG key signature whoring...

	Yes, thank you Charles for the well written directions. I think they
are a great primer for anyone just wanting to start using GPG. I'd also
like to express my thanks for Mike for doing the initial *leg* work  and
getting the automated key submission process in place as it really
helped make things work smoothly.
