[LRUG] February Meeting - Speakers needed

[Paolo Donà]

I'd like to have a trip in London and show you how I implemented my
little tabnav
plugin <http://blog.seesaw.it/pages/tabnav>, but I'm not a Ruby guru nor a
great English speaker. Maybe it could just be an opportunity to  get some
feedback about it, and explore further developments...

Flights are pretty cheap these days.. do you think it could fit?
I would just need a couch or a lousy hostel...
