<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Dear members of the Python Cuba Work Group:<br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">As you are all well
aware there is a group of individuals who do not want me as a
chairman of this working group. They used false and misconstrued
statements as justification. As a consequence the vocal member of
this group of individuals was removed.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Sadly that was not
the end of it. This group of individuals have now shifted their
efforts into coercing me to stepping down instead.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">This group of
individual have contacted the company I work for as well as some of
our clients. The extent of their campaign is not clear but their
intentions and means to achieve it are.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">This leaves me no
other course of action but to step down as Chair of the Python Cuba
work group of the Python Software Foundation effective immediately.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">In my absence, the
group will continue under David Mertz Co-chair of the work group, now
Chair of the work group.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Thank you for having
included me in the effort to help Cuba bring up their own Python
community and helping them get closer to a PyCon event in the near
future.</p>
