I would like to make it clear that this announcement has
been written by the developers who have resigned, not in
any official Stampede capacity. Matthew Wood, Stampede
Linux Head Developer, made statements earlier in the day
that he plans for the Stampede Linux project to continue.
Our big Stampede-related announcement:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
We have been developers, end-users and general
supporters
of the Stampede Linux
(Stampede GNU/Linux) project for over two years. We have
enjoyed working
together as a team and pursuing many of our own interests
in conjunction with
expansion of the distribution. Many of us have grown up on
Stampede.
It is now time for us to part company. Due to a number
of
reasons based on
the current administrative nature of the Stampede Linux
distribution, we are
unable to continue supporting the efforts of the
distribution. As a group,
we feel that the needs of the group have not been supported
by the current
model of operations. Though we have tried, we have not
been able to affect
change in this regard. Despite our strong long-term
commitment to the project,
it is time to move on.
As a group, we shall endeavor to find a more suitable,
democratic forum to
express our interests. To those who have supported our
efforts over the last
two years, we thank you.
