Additionally to this I would also be interested in this PGP, GPG thingy.

First thing to do is install GnuPG and generate a key. (I say generate 
because I have searched and I can't find a key for you so after all the fuss 
about making existing keys public, I'd hope you have not been hiding your 
key!!!) 

:-))

Most distros have GnuPG available as a package. Once installed, just run gpg 
as an ordinary user. That will create the home directory and you'll need to 
run gpg again maybe twice before it is ready to generate a key. (If you use 
RH and get warnings about insecure memory, you can either use chmod u+s 
/usr/bin/gpg or if no-one else is connected to your computer normally, ignore 
it. - make sure gpg is IN /usr/bin/ first using locate or which.)

Then read the man page and generate a key. Then post it to keyserver.linux.it 
using 
gpg --list-keys
and then
gpg --keyserver keyserver.linux.it --send-keys <yourkeyID>
and let us all know by signing your next email to the list.
(Using KMail you just select/enter the key to use in Settings|Configure 
KMail|Identity)

Then we can deal with GnuPG with a working installation at the meet.
