====== October Meeting: Remastersys, Asterisk on Raspberry Pi, BoFs ======
Date: October 3, 2013 at 7 p.m.\\
Location: [[history:location:29|Shopify Headquarters]]\\
This month we will have a short talk on using remastersys for creating a system recovery DVD from your running system, a longer talk on using a Raspberry Pi as a home or small business PBX (a couple of other platform will be mentioned as well), and a GPG Key Signing as one of the BoF topics.
In addition to the regular meeting, we have a one hour pre-meeting item from 6:00 to 7:00 for people who are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who are just getting started.

===== Asterisk on Raspberry Pi =====
Speaker: [[history:speaker:73|Scott Murphy]]\\
An overview of using Asterisk on a Raspberry Pi as a home phone system or for a small business environment. The platform is actually quite capable and is offered as a commercial solution by a number of vendors. Save a few dollars and see how simple it is to get started and run your own system. If time permits and I have my test environment available, I'll do a live demo. No guarantees that we can make outside calls, but you never know.

===== GPG Key Signing BoF =====
Speaker: [[history:speaker:73|Scott Murphy]]\\
Scott Murphy will be hosting the BoF. If you have questions, comments, etc. bring them up at the BoF. We can have a short discussion prior to performing the associated key exchanges.
Sometimes it is difficult to find a bunch of people to exchange keys with, so this is an opportunity for people who wish to get their PGP/GPG keys signed by other members of the community to do so in a relaxed atmosphere.
Things you will need:
* A GPG key to exchange
* Copies of your key in GPG fingerprint format
* A valid government issued ID to prove who you are to people who may not know you
You can generate the fingerprint with the gpg program, //gpg –fingerprint show fingerprint//
Like this:
$ gpg --fingerprint 4B7DA0B2 show fingerprint
pub 2048R/4B7DA0B2 2012-10-04 [expires: 2017-10-03]
Key fingerprint = ED82 B038 8C5C 4A9B 123E CF3D 6D59 7F18 4B7D A0B2
uid Scott Murphy (New Key to replace C52FF996)
uid Scott Murphy
sub 2048R/1FDA3F32 2012-10-04 [expires: 2017-10-03]
$
Ideally, you should bring small pieces of paper with your name and pgp key fingerprint on them to hand out to people. You can include a small "verified" checkbox that someone can mark if they choose to check identification. Personally, I just use a check mark.
Method:
* Generate your fingerprint and paste it into a file
* Copy and paste until you have filled a sheet of paper
* Cut into strips to hand out.
* Repeat as necessary if you need more
As an example, mine would look like this if I was just exchanging a single key:
4B7DA0B2 - ED82 B038 8C5C 4A9B 123E CF3D 6D59 7F18 4B7D A0B2 - scott.murphy@arrow-eye.com
4B7DA0B2 - ED82 B038 8C5C 4A9B 123E CF3D 6D59 7F18 4B7D A0B2 - scott.murphy@arrow-eye.com
4B7DA0B2 - ED82 B038 8C5C 4A9B 123E CF3D 6D59 7F18 4B7D A0B2 - scott.murphy@arrow-eye.com
etc.
