For a number of reasons, i've recently set up a new OpenPGP key, and
will be transitioning away from my old one.

The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but i prefer all
future correspondence to come to the new one.  I would also like this
new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust.  This message is
signed by both keys to certify the transition.

the old key was:

pub   rsa4096/6E1A4E79 2009-05-11
      Key fingerprint = CBD6 EEE3 7132 027A A237  9659 013F A50B 6E1A 4E79

And the new key is:

pub   rsa4096/A29D259B 2015-06-05 [expires: 2016-06-04]
      Key fingerprint = DBC1 07DC 8601 B275 835F  9178 FBE5 5AED A29D 259B

To fetch the full key (including a photo uid, which is commonly
stripped by public keyservers), you can get it with:

  wget -q -O- https://www.dennogumi.org/A29D259B.txt | gpg --import -

Or, to fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do:

  gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key A29D259B

If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is
signed by the old one:

  gpg --check-sigs A29D259B

If you don't already know my old key, or you just want to be double
extra paranoid, you can check the fingerprint against the one above:

  gpg --fingerprint A29D259B

If you are satisfied that you've got the right key, and the UIDs match
what you expect, I'd appreciate it if you would sign my key:

  gpg --sign-key A29D259B

Lastly, if you could upload these signatures, i would appreciate it.
You can either send me an e-mail with the new signatures (if you have
a functional MTA on your system):

  gpg --armor --export A29D259B | mail -s 'OpenPGP Signatures' lbeltrame at kde.org

Or you can just upload the signatures to a public keyserver directly:

  gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key A29D259B

Please let me know if there is any trouble, and sorry for the
inconvenience.

Regards,
        Luca Beltrame
