Wow ... this topic gets me stoked.  Thanks Aaron for organizing the
key signing.

So ... you're not going to sign his key  *right now*,  correct?  Good.
Come to the key-signing party, collect validations in person, *then* sign keys.
Also be sure to upload keys you have signed.

This is deep magic.
It is really cool ... but be sure to dig into it first and don't be
hoodwinked by convenience.
YES, you want Evolution to validate signatures automatically.  But
take it to heart when it warns you.  The security implications may be
small today, but could be huge in time.

I'll put some back story in a following post, but let me encourage
everyone to come to Aaron's BoF.  MEANWHILE, check out the Wikipedia
description about a web of trust.  (Or is that "the" web of trust??)

There is also a piece I did on the concept ...
