I wrote a key submission application that you might find useful. It's pretty spartan, but I've use it for keysigning parties at linux.conf.au and other conferences and it does the job.
Looks neat. I'll look into it more closely if I have time (probably not before this months meet-up though).
Oh and I should also mention https://github.com/frasertweedale/gcaff which is a friendlier alternative to caff for signing multiple keys. Even has a GUI!
I attempted to open some of the Debian keyrings just to see what the GUI looked like, but it would always fail with an uncaught exception. Didn't spend too much time on it, but I like the idea.
If you could send the traceback and [links to] the keyring(s) you tried to open I'll take a look at it. Cheers, Fraser

I think we will use some middle ground between the “Sassaman” <URL:http://keysigning.org/methods/sassaman-efficient> and “Ad hoc” <URL:http://keysigning.org/methods/adhoc>>. Specifically, I think the party will be small enough to use Ad hoc, but the central point of contact to co-ordinate the participating keys will be helpful.
I'm expecting a number of people will not have any GnuPG experience, so am intending to provide a small presentation on the subject. If people bring laptops, they might create decide to create keys on the spot. I know this isn't ideal, but I think it's important to prioritise helping people get started.
As the meet-up is only a few days away, it's probably not reasonable to expect everyone will have time to send me keys prior to the event. Happy to do this if people want, but I agree with your assessment that leaning towards ad hoc might be the way to go. Depending on how we go for time, how many people turn up (and interest levels), I'd even be happy to continue keysigning while waiting on dinner - if there are no objections, anyway.
Cheers, Adam
