PGP key signing party at WineConf

[Shachar Shemesh]

Hi all,

During WineConf we will be holding a key signing party, organized by 
your truly. The wiki page for WineConf has been updated with details on 
how to participate, and I have set up a page explaining the process for 
people who have never participated before.

Please email your keys to me, with the subject "WineConf key signing" 
(so that my spam filters don't eat it up).

The wineconf wiki page, in case you are not up to date, is at 
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2010

The key signing page is at http://wiki.winehq.org/KeySigningParty

Howdy Shachar,

I've noticed a few pgp/gpg websites that say the key should have the
persons FULL name. Is the full name required, or is just my First/Last
name sufficient?

Thanks for organizing this, by the way :-).

In a nutshell - it depends.

I, as an example, have a middle name that I seldom (i.e. - never) use. 
It does not appear on my PGP key.

The real rule for what a PGP key should contain is your identifying 
name. It might well be that some of the party's participants will refuse 
to sign your key if the names on your key and on your identifying 
certificate are not 100% identical.
