[ubuntu-us-ut] Leadership Change

[Tristan Rhodes]

One more email to thank Christer for his great work in creating the 
Ubuntu Utah Loco team.  I think we were the second US state Loco team, 
along with Colorado.  (I might be wrong on that).

I remember an early Ubuntu meeting with only 3 people, but with enough 
pizza to feed 12 people!  :)
