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