Hi folks,
I am hoping to get my amateur radio license soon, and thought I'd bring
a handheld along with me to Debconf. Are any other hams planning to
attend? I'm going to assume that operating in Manhattan is
substantially different from operating in Kansas; any locals have
suggestions?

I would like to participate in the keysigning, but I am confused about
thie "cross sign your keys" bit. What is this second key I should be
using and why?

In trying to figure out when the keysigning will be, I've pulled up the

Hi,
Quick questions:
1) What is the normal method for getting signatures to people after the
signing?
2) Is attendance at the Sunday evening session mandatory to participate?
Thanks,

Hi,
Hopefully this is the right address to send bug reports for the beta videos.
Anyhow, it looks like some of them are truncated; for instance, the

it seems to me, wasn't just for developers, but also for maintainers,
interested people in general, enterprise users, system administrators,
etc. It should be the "Debian C
