To get your public key into a file to email me, do something like "gpg -a --export > file". This will write all public keys you have to "file" -- you can specify your email address to only write your own key.
To get a copy of your fingerprint to print (or write) out & verify to bring to the meeting, do "gpg --fingerprint". It should look something like this (the part you need to verify is in bold):
pub 1024D/0E9FF879 2000-09-05 Darxus <Darxus@ChaosReigns.com>
Key fingerprint = DE37 8846 3B06 B97C F661 D68F 7FB5 B0BE 0E9F F879
sub 1024g/2EEAB976 2000-09-05
Be sure to print out enough slips with your own fingerprint information on them, to exchange with whomever you wish to keysign with.
It would be a good idea to make sure that you get an email responce from me to be sure I didn't miss your email. Ideally, you should verify that your key has been added to the keyring by doing the following, using your email address instead of mine:
wget http://www.phillylinux.org/keys/phillylinux.gpg
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./temp.gpg --import phillylinux.gpg
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./temp.gpg --list-keys darxus@chaosreigns.com
If it lists your key, something like this, then it worked:
pub 1024D/0E9FF879 2000-09-05 Darxus <Darxus@ChaosReigns.com>
sub 1024g/2EEAB976 2000-09-05
If you get something like "gpg: error reading key: public key not found", then your key has not been imported and you need to talk to me.
