GPG/PGP is a open protocol aimed at encrypting , digitally signing emails and other documents. Unlike S/Mime - GPG is not centralized , it doesn’t rely on one entity to manage the trust factor - it relies on users to build a web of trust.

A Signing party is build and design to build the web of trust. To build it amongst mozillians , there will be 3 signing parties during the summit. One in Santa Clara, one in Toronto and one in Bruxelles (excuse the the spelling, but can’t spell it the non french way :-)).

Otto will organise the one in Brussels, Bogomil in Toronto and I will manage the one in Santa clara.

for now if you think about participating - make sure you have a key. We’ll send out more details later. as we sort them out.
