Arkansas Team LoCo -- call for active members

[Rob Rogers]

I'm a member of the proto-LoCo in Louisiana, but I hang out in the IRC
channel for Arkansas also, #ubuntu-us-ar.  I think I currently have
the ownership on that channel and would love to hand it off to an
active person in Arkansas.  I'm online during the day most days.

Come join in with the few who have been hanging out in the channel and
get to know the other active Ubuntu users in Arkanas.
