<snip> Basically, yes. You go to key-signing parties of your local <insert-os-here>-User-Group or bug people on expos. Or you search for people you may get your hands on using the keyserevers. E.g. I went to LinuxTag and collected signatures from the debian people there and I searched the pgp.net servers for uni-bielefeld.de, which brings up people that are at my university. I then try to organize a keysigning event.
