OWASP Stammtisch-Initiative ("regular's table initiative")

A "regular's table" (Stammtisch) is a German tradition for meeting each other in a beer garden or a pub in order to discuss certain topics (and to drink beer, of course ;-).

In the case of an OWASP-Stammtisch it's all about Web Application Security. Right now a Stammtisch is established in Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart
