A lot depends on the audience.  I think that we have an opportunity here
to cross-pollinate, so to speak.  I know that we have people who are
very familiar with setting up web sites and e-mail systems that use
X.509 certificates.  I also know that we have people who regularly use
either PGP or X.509 certificates for either signing or encrypting their
mail.  However, on the other hand, I am sure that we have people who
have either never thought of these subjects and would like to, or have
always thought that it was too difficult for them to do.

A combination of History, Theory and Practice would seem to me to be a
good basis for a curriculum.

How'd you like to be a presenter?  Get in early and pick a topic?

The 3rd is good for me, too.  I have a commitment about supper time, but
before that....
