LILUG General Meeting - Tuesday, 8 August, 2000
From Lilug
Meeting Summary
Speakers
- Tom Rothamel - GPG, Part 2
- Tom Rothamel continued his multi-part series on Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG). Tom explained how a keysigning works, and then the members who had previously emailed their public keys to Tom read off their keys so that the others could verify them and then exchanged identification, so that each group member could make a rational decision about whether he/she could sign the keys of the other members.
- You can read the handout from Tom's talk right here.
Discussions/Announcements
Electronic Frontier Foundation
- Matt N. appraised the group of the work of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and detailed the current court battle being waged over Linux DVD.
Problems
- Has anyone been using ipv6 on their Linux boxes yet?
- Only two persons identified themselves as having tried it. Perhaps we'll see more trying it out in the near future.
Group Business
Subbing For Matt N
- LILUG President Matt Newhall announced that due to issues at work, he might not be able to run the next few meetings. As stipulated in the group's constitution, the vice-president runs the meetings in these situations, which means Ari Share will take over for Matt N. if necessary.
Next Meeting
- The group decided to focus on Linux advocacy issues & ideas at the next meeting. We will also plan for a future meeting on dealing with hardware conflicts, which might coincide with an Install Day.
