[Herts] Keysigning event

[Tony Friis]

I'm planning a presentation on Asterisk telephones for February so there 
may not be a lot of time.
Could I suggest just an mention of keysigning in Feb, perhaps just 
telling people how to create their own key, with the main keysigning 
event postponed to March.
