Happy New Year Mooters

At the end of the last moot (November) Dave and I planned out the talks
for the next few meetings.  This month I will talk about GNU Privacy
Guard, a method for encrypting files and sending either signed and/or
encrypted e-mails.  I gave a talk about this some time back, but as
there as been a number of new faces it is probably worth covering this
again.

I got the impression that my last talk didn't get many to start using
encryption/digital signatures with their emails.  So this time I thought
I would try something different.  Rather than just give a talk why not a
tutorial, so those of you with laptops can go away with the system
configured and working.

I'll run the tutorial around the Thunderbird e-mail user agent (or one
of it's free derivatives).  You'll also need the "enigmail" add-on
installed and the GNU Privacy Guard software.  For Debian/Ubuntu systems
the packages are:
	
	enigmail     Enigmail - GPG support for Thunderbird
	icedove      free/unbranded thunderbird mail/news/rss clone
	gnupg        GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

Not sure about the RPM packages names but I'm sure you can figure them
out for yourself.

If you would rather a different MUA that shouldn't be too much of a
problem.  I've used GnuPG with Evolution and Mutt without a problem.  As
 far as I know Outlook Express (yes, that horror from M$) is the only
MUA that it doesn't work with.

So configure you lappies (if you have one) and I'll see you on Thursday
29th Jan.
