[LRUG] Meeting in May

[Sam Joseph]

Would love to make the May meeting if there's pairing involved.

There's some great videos on pairing on YT - I was just collecting a few:

I also like the Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming

Although it seems to be suffering from overuse of primary sources - and 
it was interesting to read about the Wikipedia policies here.

But either which way, I'm really excited about the educational potential 
of pair programming ...
