I borrowed the term “Brown Bag Lunch” from a former colleague of mine (Dirk Vangeison). The idea of the brown bag lunch is every month or so have a team member volunteer to host a 1 hour presentation over lunch (of course the attendees would bring their own lunch). Topics for a brown bag lunch might be design patterns, new technologies, SDLC, trouble shooting techniques, or new tools. It is a great way to transfer knowledge and really good way to develop presentation skills.
