Can't hurt.
I'm willing to facilitate (collect the keys and coordinate during the
"party") if needed. We will need to confirm our desire to do this and do
notification on the list soon to give people time to create a key and
upload to a public keyserver. Maybe put a modified howto on our site.

So Kenneth, if you haven't noticed we talk alot but if no one takes a
lead nothing tends to happen. That said, If there is no objection to
this idea in the next day or so an announcement will be made by me
unless you wish facilitate.
