RE: Tech meetings

From
time to time, we go through a series of "show and tell" where people do about an hour long presentation, question and answer on some usually technical topic. Occasionally these presentations are business related (eg explaining how the Canada Pension Plan international agreements affects the programs we are doing).

They
die off, then the director resurrects them by asking for volunteers. Occasionally, people are told to do a presentation on a specific work -related topic.

In the stand-ups, we   get heads-up for things and specifications that might be coming down the   pipeline from the product management and design side. We get a quick update on   the state of deployment (what version has rolled into production, what version   is in the QA pipeline) and what the next impending set of changes are about to   get pushed onto the dev servers. If there's any potential "gotcha"s that have   been experienced (especially on the coding front) they get publicized in the   stand-ups as well.

  The
  main point of our stand-ups are to make sure that all the developers are   relatively aware of the scheduling and direction of the product, and to   highlight any programming difficulties and workarounds that might arise so   that when different developers hit those gotchas, they'll already know that a   solution might already.

So essentially, the product manager has his own meetings;   then the product manager has meetings with the dev project leads to convey   what they want in the next iteration of the product; the project leads then   present these to the dev group in a stand-up meeting.

    List,
     
    Just wondering if your organization has tech meetings, and what is     discussed and what the goals of the meetings are?      
    I've been asked about this, and was wondering if there is a quick list     out there any where.
