 So I assume when backing up a key you should always back up trustdb too?

Yes.  Actually eyerything in ~/.gnupg and below should be go into the
backup.

Including random_seed?  I've always been under the impression that's a
big no-no.

Anyone interested in preparing and improving training courses?

2012-11-13 Thread Hauke Laging
Hello,

after having given training courses earlier (voluntarily) for small groups of
non-IT people I have just given my first OpenPGP / GnuPG course at the Berlin
Linux user group. My plan is to establish this as a permanent service.

The most important information I learnt from this training course is that it
is extremely important to have a good plan what to put into such a course
(even for people assumed to be IT-related). I think it's safe to assume that
my technical skills exceed my teaching skills a lot. Don't laugh about my
course now...

I hope that doing this on a regular basis will help me to improve the course
content, the course slides, the attendee preparation and so on. Now, that I
have explained my situation, my question: Is anyone on this list interested in
a regular exchange of experiences with and ideas for GnuPG training courses?
Someone who has already given such courses or is planning or at least willing
to do so?

Obviously my material and web page are in German so understanding German would
be helpful. But the knowledge how to make a good training course should be
language independent.

A similar problem: How can more be people be interested in learning GnuPG. My
current approach is to teach the BeLUG members first and the make them take
their non-BeLUG contacts to a later course.

Perfect would be somebody interested and experienced in this and living in
Berlin, of course. ;-)  But input from everyone else is welcome, too. Contact
my by email or XMPP (hauke.lag...@googlemail.com).
