And thank you for that Matt. It should be fun.
Keysignings are good ways to get to meet people face-to-face (with a
government-issued photo ID to boot!), and serves to extend the GPG
Web of Trust.

for details on how to send me your keys beforehand.
Do you want folks to send you their keys or just their key info (the
output of gpg --fingerprint)? The wiki says send your key, but the
command used won't send the key, just the key info.
If you haven't seen it before, I'd recommend giving a look at the
"Efficient Group Key Signing Method" by Len Sassaman and Phil
Zimmermann, documented at
http://sion.quickie.net/keysigning.txt
It cuts a lot of the tediousness out of a key signing involving more
than just a few people.
I'd be glad to offer any help you might want in preparing for this.
I've only helped organize a few key signings, but I've been using and
following PGP for what seems like ages. :)
