Howdy,

My name is Eric, I'm with the Harrisburg Perl Mongers.  We're all looking
forward to getting together with you guys this Saturday, most of us will be
arriving around 11:00am.

A last minute idea has come up -- for those who use PGP/GPG, or would like to,
some of us thought it would be neat to have a key signing party.  If you aren't
sure what that is, you can read more about it here:

  http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html

Basically, "signing" a PGP key is just a way of one person stating that they
have verified the validity of another person's identity and key.  It then
get's into this whole "Web of Trust" thing that you can read about at the above
url :-)

The only thing you need to do if you wish to participate is to bring two forms
of identification, and a copy of your PGP/GPG key fingerprint.  If you don't
have a PGP/GPG key yet, the above url explains how to create one, get the
fingerprint, and so on.

Anyhow, see you on Saturday!
  -Eric
