1 I woke up this morning and realized that for the first time since
2 [17 April 2001](https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2001/04/msg00025.html),
3 I am no longer a member of the Debian Technical Committee.
5 My departure from the committee is a consequence of the
6 [Debian General Resolution](https://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_004)
7 "limiting the term of the technical committee members" that was passed
8 amending the Debian Constitution nearly a year ago. As the two longest-serving
9 members, both over the term limit, Steve Langasek and I completed our service
12 In early March 2015, I
13 [stepped down](https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2015/03/msg00032.html)
14 from the role of chairman after serving in that role for the better part of
15 a decade, to help ensure a smooth transition. Don Armstrong is now serving
16 admirably in that role, I have the utmost respect for the remaining members
17 of the TC, and the process of nominating replacements for the two now-vacant
18 seats is already well underway.
20 So, for the Debian project as a whole, today is really a non-event... which
21 is exactly as it should be! Debian has been a part of my life since 1994,
22 and I sincerely hope to be able to remain involved for many years to come!
