If your current primary key is a 1024-bit DSA key (the gpg default for
many years), i strongly recommend you make a new key using at least
2048-bit RSA before Friday's meetup. Please see my recent blog on the
subject for details [0].  There are suggestions there for folks who
already have stronger keys as well.

The keysigning party tomorrow is a good opportunity to get your new key
firmly embedded in the WoT, as there will be a reasonable number of
well-connected people there.  Please take these steps now, while SHA-1's
collision-resistance is known-weak but not actively exploited.

It will help us be prepared to migrate fully away from SHA-1 when that
time comes.
