Hello,

I've made some scripts that can be used by board members at fosdem this
weekend to generate board PGP key, after board has been elected :
http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/gpg/README?view=markup

It uses shamir's secret sharing scheme to split the key between all 6
board members, and 3 are required to use the key.

The batch file used by gnupg to generate the key :
http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/gpg/input/board.batch?view=markup
The key expire in 400 days and the expiration date will have to be
updated at the next fosdem.

Nicolas
