I'll be on a different continent this evening, so it doesn't affect me, but if I were there, I'd have one question, and maybe it's interesting for the actual attendees as well: Is the Conference Dinner an indoor or an outdoor event? The reason I (would) ask this question is that I was caught by surprise last year when I learned by accident on IRC 1.5 hours before the start that the conference dinner was indoor. At that time I considered it a very bad idea to put 200 people without masks in a room during a pandemic, and given the anecdotic evidence of infections a couple of days later I'm still convinced that my not attending was a good idea. Whereever the Conference Dinner takes place this year -- I think the potential attendees might be happy to learn earlier where it happens in order to be able to make their informed decisions according to their personal COVID-19 policies.

I have been looking for an excuse to become involved with Debian again, this might be it. If time-zones allow it, I'd love to attend remotely such a BoF.

The script used to create the list only associates a single "ID" with each individual, rather than trying to parse out UIDs from each submitted key. There's no problem with keys with different associated email addresses (or keys with multiple UIDs on them), the script just doesn't present all of those.

Re: DebConf 23 Key Signing party final lists
Hi Jonathan, Appreciate the effort in compiling all the keys and preparing the PDF.. Just wanted to clarify one doubt. I was of the understanding that one can add multiple keys for KSP and I have added 2 keys.. one used for my gmail (122a below: used for DC23 registration) other (122b) used for my official email id. Following are my keys from ksp-dc23.txt.. but both show the same email ID. 122a [ ] Fingerprint OK [ ] ID OK 8135 568E B93B 86F6 A6DA A562 1EB0 80A0 63C8 14A5 uid Abraham Jacob 122b [ ] Fingerprint OK [ ] ID OK 1143 756C E963 BBD2 4BA7 6280 EB98 70B0 5FCF 3E33 uid Abraham Jacob Is it an error or am I not supposed to submit 2 different keys that belong to different UIDs? No need to make any changes now since people have already started computing SHASUM.

They can be found at: https://people.debian.org/~noodles/ksp-dc23/ You *must* download ksp-dc23.txt from that site, verify your own fingerprint *and* calculate the SHA256 hash before the introduction session on Sunday. Bring your own copy of the hash value; we will be verifying it together. I have prepared a rough'n'ready single page PDF (single-sheet.pdf) to allow for a reduction in the amount of printing necessary for folk to track who they've talked to + confirmed ID/fingerprints for. It's not authoritative (in particular it just pulls names from key UIDs which are not always a full name), but it's provided for your convenience. Make sure you check the full list when doing any actual signing! J. -- ... Shopping is hard. Let's do Math! OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
