Today was the LPLUG Christmas party, which was, I think, a big success. It was well attended, and the speechifying did not drag on too long.
We also had a GPG key signing. Only 4 people participated, but others looked on curiously, which was, actually, the main purpose - to get people interested, asking questions, etc., so that next time we do this, we'll have wider participation. Perhaps this could even be a regular part of meetings. It's less time consuming when people know what is going on, and what they gain by having their key signed, and by signing others' keys.
