[ubuntu-us] Good Bye

[Steve Stalcup]

Hey Everone :)

I am leaving the US Teams project.

I have mixed emotions about parting, but I think it's best for the
intentions of those who lead the effort.  I would still like to see a
LoCo team in every state by the end of the year (and there is still
time left)

In late summer, there was a bit of a tift about Tax exempt status and
NFP status for LoCo teams.  I don't feel like the leadership of the US
Teams project handled that situation very well.  If there is anyone I
offended, I apologize.

Rather than violate the CoC, I am choosing to move on from the project.

I will still be available to help anyone who has a question, or just
want's to cut up and have some fun on freenode.  I also just set up a
channel of #ubuntu-usa for Ubuntu enthusiasts who live in the US who
just want to socialize.

There are some great people available to assist those teams needing
guidance.  Look to mentors like Aaron Toponce (atoponce), Richard
Johnson (nixternal), Eric Lake (etank), Elizabeth Bevilacqua (pleia2),
John Crawford (johnc4510), and Nick Ali (boredandblogging).  These
individuals truly represent the spirit of Ubuntu and I feel lucky
having come to know each of them.

Thanks and Good Luck!
Steve
