Open mic: bring a topic!
Depending how things go theres an optional session where anyone can stand up and talk (or start a discussion) for up to (say) 5 mins about any security topic they like.
You can either put your name forward via the mailing list before hand or just speak up at the meeting.
Its the first time we'll have tried it, so no idea how it will work out, but it sounded like a good idea :)
If you would like to talk at future meetings then please get in touch via the mailing list or one of the chapter leaders.
Everyone is welcome to join us at our chapter meetings.
