I meant pair programming indeed.

 I imagine you could introduce the idea (maybe with a short demo using some
willing or scripted participants) and then point folk at a signup for a
less time constrained event.  Is that the sort of thing you meant?

In a nutshell yes, that's what I meant.

To give a bit more context, I will take my case as an example, but I'm sure
I'm not the only one in that situation.

I don't have colleagues at $dayjob or friend that to is proficient in ruby
to just discuss how to do x and y.
I'm now at a stage where I know enough to get some stuff done.
I look at the some code and try to learn from it,
That said, it probably look and feel like hobbyist work.
 but i find difficult to achieve "beautiful code" yet.

So the proposal would be to try to make junior people like me meet more
advance programmers, to talk, write code, write test, review code, etc.
I think it can be beneficial for both mentor and mentee.
The mentee gets to be better at all things ruby.
The mentor will develop leadership, communication and managing skills.

I also don't think that LRUG meeting format allows pair programming.
I would be keen on organising another event to do with pair programming, if
there is any interest.

I hope this explain better what I meant than the ambiguous 2 liner with I
started with.

Regards,
Flo
