Thank You, Richard, and Fare Well!

Richard Siddaway has decided to step away from PowerShell.org and The DevOps Collective. Most recently, Richard has been known for his management of content at PowerShell Summit North America, PowerShell Summit Europe, and later, PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit. Before that, however, Richard was one of the founders of PowerShell.org way back in 2011-2012, along with myself, Jason Helmick, Kirk Munro, and Jeffrey Hicks. It’s quite fair to say that we all needed one another’s support and expertise very much in those early days, and Richard was particularly key in helping us put together the two European Summit events. Richard’s very much entitled to one of our Community Hero Challenge Coins, which have been awarded to only a small handful of people who have made sustained, long-term community contributions: Jeffrey Snover, Jason Helmick, Angel Calvo, and Kenneth Hansen. Richard’s definitely in rarified company, and it’s well-earned.

Incidentally, if you’d like to be a writer here at PowerShell.
