[LRUG] Meeting in May

Tue Apr 23 04:32:35 PDT 2013

I try to do some pair programming at our regular Wednesday night meetups 
- it's been mainly JavaScript recently:

http://www.meetup.com/London-AI-Class/

There's also remote pair programming which gets round alot of the 
logistical issues:

of course meeting in person is more compelling for many ...
