I hereby declare my intent to resign from the Debian Technical Committee. The Constitution doesn't really have a clear procedure for handling resignations here; I expect the TC will want to appoint a new member, which I appreciate might take a while. Subject to advice from the DPL and/or the TC Chair, I'd be willing to stay in post until no later than the end of January or until a new member is appointed, or alternatively to have my resignation take effect immediately. Let me know what seems best. I appreciate that the timing is such that this looks like a response to Joey's mails, or perhaps to some other recent discussions. That isn't the case. I've been doing a good deal of refactoring of my life recently as a result of realising that I was burning out [1], and right now it's important that I make an effort to spend my Debian time on things I find relaxing rather than things I've been finding stressful. I also feel that I haven't been able to give as much time to the TC as I'd hoped I would be able to, and I think the project deserves to have somebody who can take a more active part.
