+# Term Limited on Debian Technical Committee
+
+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!
