For these reasons I’d go for ad-hoc.My advice would be to hold a workshop (or two) first. Then numbers won't be so much of a problem.I think workshops would be useful, but I think the idea of people beingshown how, followed by generating their own keys, and then doing the verification for signing is iffy.
Agreed but the actual keys don't have to be generated at the workshop.
Ideally, people should create their keys in private, on a system they trust, and not in a public place connected to public wireless.
Again, 100% agree.
Maybe we can do the workshops for SFD and follow up with a key-signing event another time?
I'm not sure about this. A formal workshop at the MDDA is the best place for this in my opinion.
Obviously, for those of us who already have keys, we can still exchangefingerprints at SFD.
Of course. The workshops will be happening regardless so it's up to you.
