[TriLUG] REMINDER: KeySigning party during Hack Day

[Sarat Sreepathi]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I would just like to add that anyone interested in PGP or privacy in
general is welcome to come in tomorrow even if they haven't generated
the keys. We can introduce and certainly help with the basic setup. So
if you are a beginner wondering if you would be out of place, please
join us.

If you are an expert, please come in and help in educating more members.

Thanks,
Sarat.
