Every meeting we start with an opportunity for informal key signing. For this you'll need to bring paper OpenPGP fingerprint slips, see `gpg-key2ps` from the `signing-party` package: https://packages.debian.org/signing-party === Topic details === The main part of the meeting will be a talk and demonstration with free discussion. Following on from Software Freedom Day 2018 in Manchester on the Saturday, where people will learn about Software Freedom, this event is to help people install it. The aim is to help those wanting to install a Free Software Operating System (OS) and then Free Software in general.
