SCALE 12X PGP Keysigning Party

Guest Post by Phil Dibowitz

We've received a lot questions about the PGP Keysigning Party this year, and I'm happy to report that it is indeed going to happen.

However, your faithful PGP enthusiast is taking a year off. Instead of me standing up and yelling instructions, Aaron Toponce has graciously volunteered to lead this year's event. Aaron has led many PGP keysigning parties and I'm sure he will bring his own unique insights and twist.

One for the record books

The Southern California Linux Expo turned their annual event up to 11 this year in more ways than one.

SCALE 11X, celebrating its 11th year as the first-of-the-year Linux/Open Source expo in North America, played host to more than 2,300 attendees visiting more than 100 exhibitors and hearing more than 90 speakers giving a wide variety of presentations during the course of the three-day event.
