I'm very interested in this topic! I occasionally use GPG on Windows
with Microsoft LookOut at work, but it's fairly rare that I send
"sensitive" information via email. I'd love to learn a better approach
though, as GPG with Outlook is kind of a pain the way I do it now.

BTW, I've been on the BLUG mailing list for a while now but haven't
introduced myself to the group yet or been to a meeting. Anyway, I
work at Ivy Tech with Jeremy during the day and "play" with computers
the rest of my free time (typical geek, I guess). In case you are
wondering about my references to Outlook above, yes, I am a Windows
user and a linux user. I spend more time in a Windows GUI than I do a
linux command line, and I think both have their uses. Even though
linux isn't my primary OS I still very much enjoy learning it.

I hope to attend a meeting soon, if you'll allow a Windows user; maybe
some of you can convince me to switch over from the dark side :)

Have your key fingerprints and photo ID's ready and we can have a
keysigning afterwards too, maybe at Nick's! :)

Re: [BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

Yeah, everyday encryption is in my category of "If I had a full
understanding of it, I bet I'd do it all the time." Instead I dig it
out and read the manuals when I really need it, which isn't very
often, so I'm very unsure. A presentation would be great.

Re: [BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

Count me interested! I'm sure I'd learn plenty. Holler when you want to
give it, and I'll schedule you.

Right now, I'm mulling the idea of giving a presentation on Zimbra
(open-source mail server, postfix backend) myself.

[BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

I'm sure this one has been considered several times, but I didn't see it
in the previous meeting topics.

I'm something of a privacy nut, and I think everyone with email should
use GPG or equivalent. If it sounds like something the group would like,
I'm willing to prepare a presentation on GPG. This would include a
primer in RSA and asymmetric encryption, authentication vs encryption,
web of trust/key signing, and some demonstrations of GPG in action.

Anyone else interested?

Hash: SHA1

We got this in our support queue this week, thought I would pass it on
to BLUG:

To whom it may concern:

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but I was hoping for some help.
We are an IT Consulting Services firm HQ'd in Indianapolis. One of our
clients has a need for a full-time Unix Systems Administrator, and we
are trying to get the word out.
I do not know exactly what the users group does, but I thought maybe
there was an opportunity or way to let members know of the opportunity.
I called the Users Group number, and someone suggested I send this to you.
Let me know if you have any ideas or help for us, and I look forward to
the response.
Best regards,
