Okay. I will put that up sometime today. Do you think 20 minutes will be long enough to cover all that material?

This sounds like a plan. I have forgotten the mechanics of running such parties, though. There used to be a key-signing HOWTO someplace -- does that document still apply? I mostly want to tell people what they need to have done before coming to the meeting so that they will be prepared for the party.
