Aaron Hockley, the founder of the Portland WordPress User Group, has decided to focus on some other major projects. As such, he is handing off responsibility for the management of the pdxwp group:

Aaron will continue to lead WordCamp Portland, the second installment of which is slated for fall 2009.
