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]] -- 2.30.2
