Get your personalized map of DebConf25 in Brest

As I often do, this year I have also prepared a set of personalized maps for your OpenPGP keysigning in DebConf25, in Brest!

What is that, dare you ask?

Partial view of my OpenPGP map

One of the not-to-be-missed traditions of DebConf is a Key-Signing Party (KSP) that spans the whole conference! Travelling from all the corners of the world to a single, large group gathering, we have the ideal opportunity to spread some communicable diseases trust on your peers’ identities and strengthen Debian’s OpenPGP keyring.

But whom should you approach for keysigning?

Go find yourself in the nice listing I have prepared. By clicking on your long keyid (in my case, the link labeled 0x2404C9546E145360), anybody can download your certificate (public key + signatures). The SVG and PNG links will yield a graphic version of your position within the DC25 keyring, and the TXT link will give you a textual explanation of it. (of course, your links will differ, yada yada…)

Please note this is still a preview of our KSP information: You will notice there are outstanding several things for me to fix before marking the file as final. First, some names have encoding issues I will fix. Second, some keys might be missing — if you submitted your key as part of the conference registration form but it is not showing, it must be because my scripts didn’t find it in any of the queried keyservers. My scripts are querying the following servers:

hkps://keyring.debian.org/
hkps://keys.openpgp.org/
hkps://keyserver.computer42.org/
hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com/
hkps://pgp.mit.edu/
hkps://pgp.pm/
hkps://pgp.surf.nl/
hkps://pgpkeys.eu/
hkps://the.earth.li/

Make sure your key is available in at least some of them; I will try to do a further run on Friday, before travelling, or shortly after arriving to France.

If you didn’t submit your key in time, but you will be at DC25, please mail me stating [DC25 KSP] in your mail title, and I will manually add it to the list.

On (hopefully!) Friday, I’ll post the final, canonical KSP coordination page which you should download and calculate its SHA256-sum. We will have printed out convenience sheets to help you do your keysigning at the front desk.
