[SLUG] GPG key signing party

I'm just coming up to speed on this so please excuse a basic question or 
two. I installed Enigmail which prompted to install GnuPG which I have 
done. I generated a key (didn't bother with a passphrase) for me. I can 
now successfully send myself encrypted messages! The next question is do 
I need to generate a certificate for every member of the company? How do 
I share these certificates. Surely emailing them out will invalidate 
their security?

Only one person uses Outlook Express at present, and she's pretty taken 
with Thunderbird so I don't think that'll be any major problem. I'm 
determined to get my boss to appreciate the benefits of opensource. You 
should have seen his expression when I told him it was all free with 
unlimited licenses!
