You need to generate a public/private key pair, we can do this at the
meeting if you want on my laptop (the integrity of which you can judge
for yourself but I know it to be ok).

If you already have a public/private key pair bring along a paper
print out of the fingerprint, Debian users can use gpg-key2ps from the
package signing-party.

Everyone should being along some suitable photgraphic ID.  Passport,
card-style driving licence or Royal Bank photo credit/debit card are
the usual.  University ID is probably good enough.

I agree, and #tlug agrees, the meeting will be at 20:00 in the Applied
Computing building of Dundee University, remember to ring the door
bell.  Keysigning and possibly a talk on GNU/Linux and games is the
theme.
