Subject: Keysigning in March
Message-ID: <20160209033421.GA12372@artemis.silentflame.com>

Hello,

I've recently become involved in Debian [1], and several sponsors of my
packages have suggested that I apply for Debian Maintainer status.  So
I'm looking to get the signatures of two or three DDs on my PGP key.

Unfortunately, there are no DDs near where I live.  Fortunately, I'm
planning to visit San Francisco & Stanford University from the 15th to
the 19th of March.

Please let me know if there are any keysigning events planned, or if you
are a DD who would be interested in meeting me to exchange signatures.

Thanks.

Don't (yet ;-)) have a keysigning event specifically planned,
but I might suggest, if it works with your schedule,
at the BALUG meeting in San Francisco.
That would be 3rd Tuesday, so for March, 2016-03-15.
http://www.balug.org/
And can of course certainly invite all the Bay Area Debian (BAD) folks that
wish to come (when BAD meets, it's 2nd Wednesday, but that's not when you'd
be visiting ... not unprecedented for BAD folks to occasionally get together
on a date that's not a BAD meeting date ("informal gathering"), e.g. when an
out-of area Debian person is around to visit (and yes, often also including
keysigning).  BALUG has been meeting at Henry's Hunan Restaurnat (110  
Natoma St.) -
that's a pretty good relatively central location in San Francisco for  
most folks
in - and beyond - San Francisco to often make it to fairly conveniently.

You might want to also see if you can get requisite at least minimum  
number of DDs
to make it to such keysigning event - but I'd think it quite probable  
that could
be arranged.

BALUG: TOMORROW Tu 2016-02-16: Meeting!, 2016-03-15 Keysigning,  
Debian; & other BALUG News ...

------------------------------

items, details further below:
BALUG meeting 2016-02-16
BALUG meeting 2016-03-15 Keysigning, Debian, ...
giveaways (CDs/DVDs, ...)

------------------------------

For our 2016-02-16 BALUG meeting:

At least presently we don't have a specific speaker/presentation lined
up for this meeting, but that doesn't prevent us from having
interesting and exciting meetings and discussions.  Sometimes we also
manage to secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully
publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past).
Got questions, answers, and/or opinions?  We typically have some
expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover Linux and related
topic areas.  Want to hear some interesting discussions on LINUX and
other topics?  Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring an agenda
if you wish.  Want to help ensure BALUG has speakers/presentations
lined up for future meetings?  Help refer speakers to us and/or
volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators.  Great food and
people, and interesting conversations to be had.

So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:

                         rsvp at balug.org

**Why RSVP??**

Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help
BALUG and our venue plan for the meeting and accommodations, so please
let us know.

    6:30pm Tuesday, February 16th, 2016 2016-02-16
    Henry's Hunan Restaurant
    110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery)
    San Francisco, CA 94105-3704
    1-415-546-4999
    http://www.henryshunanrestaurant.com/
    Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
       Trip planning:  http://www.511.org/

Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.

Meeting Details...

Cost/Dining:
     The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
     guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner).  For
     Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
     dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
     person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
     complementary tea) would be in the $13.00 to $17.50 range, and
     commonly around $15.00 to $16.50.  Cash may be preferred to ease
     splitting up the check.  One can also specifically order the
     dish(es) one needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and
     we also commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
     considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...).  Please arrive by
     7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order
     appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M.

------------------------------

And next month, for our meeting:

2016-03-15 Keysigning and things Debian

For our 2016-03-15 meeting, we'll be doing Keysigning, and likely also
be discussing things Debian and PGP/GPG/GnuPG. We're expecting some some
Debian Developer (DD) folk(s) and visitor from out of the area who is
working along to becoming a Debian Maintainer (DM).

So, if you want to do Keysigning, or learn more about PGP/GPG/GnuPG, or
Debian, this would be quite relevant and useful meeting to attend to
cover those areas.  And in all cases too, you'd get to meet and talk
with some cool Debian and Linux folks - good interesting conversations,
good food ... :-)

Location will again be Henry's Hunan Restaurant (same location as
2016-02-16 meeting)

------------------------------

We typically have various giveaway items at BALUG meetings.  We'll
likely have at least the below plus additional items.

CDs/DVDs/ISOs, etc. - have a peek here:
http://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:cds_and_images_etc
We may also be able to "burn" images per request or copy to USB flash,
etc.  Donations of blank or +-RW media, USB flash, or funding thereof,
also appreciated.  See the above URL for details (and the inventory
(qty.) of what we specifically have "burned" and available on-hand does
also frequently change).

------------------------------

help BALUG! :-) - volunteering, venue ...

You can do useful and cool stuff volunteering to help BALUG,
e.g. following up on many leads for possible venue, among many other
possibilities.

Quite a variety of opportunities to help BALUG.  Come talk to us at a
meeting and/or drop us a note at: balug-contact at balug.org
These opportunities may include, among other possibilities:
o venue arrangement (e.g. followup on potential leads
   on-site coordination/preparations), see also:
http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2014-July/001504.html
o chief/assistant cat herder
o assist on speaker coordination/procurement, etc.
o assist on publicity
o Linux Systems Administration (e.g. do/assist/learn, with/under some
     quite experienced and skilled Linux systems administrators).
o webmaster, assistant webmaster, designer, graphic artist
o archivist/history/retrieval/etc.
o and other various/miscellaneous tasks BALUG "ought" to be doing or
     would be good to do (feel free to suggest ideas!)

should get our information out that we're not presently reaching, or

Subject: Relevant info from DPN 
Message-ID: <20160219093008.C2CBBCF1@m0086238.ppops.net>

The Debian Project News(DPN)[1] has news of current Debian happenings. 

Besides news of the release of the most recent Debian 8 update, v8.3[2],
DPN also has news of the interesting development of the integration 
of the TAILS distro[3] installer into Debian using sid, stretch 
or jessie-backports[4].

>From the Bits for Debian announcement[5]:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tails Installer is a graphical tool to install or upgrade Tails on a 
USB stick from an ISO image. It aims at making it easier and faster to 
get Tails up and running.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Tails Installer feature for Debian seems like a very useful way to 
create a *somewhat* secure, USB-bootable, and Debian-based
distro for portable use, e.g., for commuting and/or for longer-distance 
travel. 
(Although the question remains whether any distro including Debian and 
TAILS can be made to be **fully/completely** "secure" ??)

No, it can't.  No technology is completely secure.

I wrote this as a wish list some time ago:
