Subject: Call for (self-)nominations for Technical Committee seats

First and foremost, the technical committee would like to thank Don
Armstrong and Andreas Barth for serving on the committee in addition
to their many other services to Debian. Both of their terms will
expire on December 31st 2016, and there will be two empty seats which
can be filled.

To fill these seats, we are soliciting nominations, including
self-nominations. To nominate yourself or someone else, please send
e-mail to debian-ctte-private@debian.org with the subject "TC
Nomination of loginname", where loginname is the nominee's Debian
account login.[1] Please let us know in the body of the e-mail why the
nominee would be a good fit for the committee, specifically instances
where the nominee was able to help resolve disagreements, both
technical and non-technical.

Being a member of the committee does require a time commitment.
Members should be able to follow e-mail discussions on an ongoing
basis and respond within a couple of days so that discussions
progress. Members should ideally be able to spend 10 hours a month
for relatively busy months, but typical time requirements will be
less.

We anticipate starting our selection process on or about the first of
October. After the selection, the committee will then recommend
nominees to the project leader, who may appoint the nominees (§6.2).
