I'm all for that.

That would be neat indeed.

Yup.

> Right now, Sven / DrMcCoy and me have met in person and exchange and cross-signed our GPG keys. It would be good to extend that to more team members. You can find my key here: <http://gpg-keyserver.de/pks/lookup?search=max%40quendi.de&op=vindex>.

And in case somebody can't find my key linked from there:
<http://gpg-keyserver.de/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xAE7B68F3BD2A953B>
:P

> Unfortunately, it will be rather difficult for most of us to meet in person. Still, maybe we could at least exchange GPG keys, so that if any of us runs into another, we then have everything ready to verify identities and exchange key fingerprints.

I always carry a few snippets with my fingerprint around with me.
Of course, I often forget about them... :P

I'd really like that to happen some day, too :P
