[LRUG] May Meeting - Specifics

[James Darling]

I vote nothing about REST. I think we have done it, and while we  
didn't cover it fully, I don't think we ever will, especially if we  
want to keep people interested in coming along.

OpenID will still be a great conversation and seems to capture the  
imaginations of all levels of ruby-fu.

I think the code reviews were a lot more successful than we felt they  
were immediately afterwards.

So I vote a warm up act of code, with OpenID at centre stage.
