[LRUG] February is a short month, so we have short talks

[Richard Livsey]

An alternative lightning talk idea which is more Ruby-centric:  

## Should your User care about authentication?

How and why to extract code out of your models into your lib.
Buzzwords include: single responsibility principle, faster tests, london school etc…

Cheers.
