Lunch and learn

[Aaron <subdriven () gmail com>]

I've been tossing this idea around for a while now and I want to reach out
to this group for thoughts and suggestions. I know a lot of us work in the
small/medium business arena but some are also in very large enterprises.
Regardless of where we work or the size of the organization, I think as a
group we continually are trying to educate users and each other about
security (albeit not always successfully). Whether it's physical security of
ones home, data security on a personal or work computer, or even social
engineering security.

My plan is this; at places I work or consult for, offer an opportunity to
discuss security related concerns with the staff at a lunch once per month.
Obviously lunch would be provided. I don't necessarily want this to be a
"meeting" where I or someone else gets up and preaches for 30 or 45 minutes
but an actual discussion. Find out what questions and concerns people have
not only about work-related items but in day-to-day things. Obviously this
would necessitate the solicitation of ideas, concerns, and interests from
those attending the meeting prior to the event.

So to my point. Has anyone been to one of these sorts of things or put one
on? If so, how did it go? Did it seem to be well received? Were people
interested in it or did they look at it as YAM (Yet Another Meeting)?

Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms, all welcome. If things work out the way I
hope they will I'm considering putting together a site where a framework can
be built for this sort of thing. Maybe have notes, how to plan, and how to
run one of these Lunch & Learns.

Thanks for your time!

Aaron
