Symbian Stammtisch
From Symbian Developer Community
What is this?
A Symbian Stammtisch is an informal meeting for interested and insightful people within the Symbian community. To each Stammtisch we bring a topic and a number of open ended questions to encourage discussion.
The word Stammtisch is German, and while it is not easily translated into English, it refers to something like "regular's table" or "regular get-together". Literally, the Stammtisch is a table in a bar or restaurant which is reserved for the same guests at a regular interval.
Today we have regular a Stammtisch in London, and there are several other Stamtisches around the world. We invite the community to come to the London Stammtisch to meet and discuss immediate and long-term problems, where we are going, and how to get there. If you want to run a Stammtisch in your city (please do!), post a suggestion in the Stammtisch forum thread and we will help you set it up and promote it.

The London Stammtisch
When and Where?
The London Symbian stammtisch occurs monthly, on Mondays beginning at 5 pm at various venues around Waterloo station, where the Symbian office is. We typically stay for at least two hours, and we have the Big Yellow Duck or Symbian flags on our table so you can easily spot us. And for the thirsty among you, we always have a beer tab for visitors.

Yes it should be Stammtische in German, but I think we could look at this as a newly coined English word.

Yes, and besides, stammtische sounds like a pet name my Yiddishe auntie would have called me...

Surely the plural of stammtisch is stammtishe, or stammtishen. Stammtishes doesn't sound very German to me :-/
