Summary: The Honorary Scripting Guys for 2015 are announced in this blog post.
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. I have been pretty busy—I missed work because of my ear surgery and the holidays, so I have enlisted the help of the Scripting Wife, Teresa Wilson, to write this post to announce the 2015 Honorary Scripting Guys. I gave her the names and she did the rest.
Wow, that is almost exactly what I wrote last year, and it holds true for this year. The main difference is that the recovery time from my ear surgery was quite a bit longer than I anticipated. Hopefully that is the last ear surgery for me. Here’s Teresa…
Hello everyone! You know I do not try to hide things about myself nor do I try to embellish my qualities. I am what I am. I have strong points and weak points. Writing is not one of my strong points and repetition is one of the most useless things all around, in my opinion. We are scripters and automators, and we do not like to repeat.
Ed used some of his same words from last year, so why should I change things at this point? I am going to start out by snagging some of Ed’s words from two years ago and reuse them. I also would like to thank all the guest bloggers for contributing so much while Ed was off work. You all rock!
Per Ed: What does it take to become an official Honorary Scripting Guy? It takes an extreme commitment to the scripting community, a remarkable dedication helping to spread the good word about Windows PowerShell, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in producing exceptional content.

Ed also gave me a list of previous year’s Honorary Scripting Guy recipients who have made a significant contribution to the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog in 2015. If they were not already Honorary Scripting Guys, they would be!
