Small world! Around 1995, he had pinged me as we were among the (then very small) se(c)t of @Debian developers, and I (as a semi-permanent visitor) had been using a @queensu handle (his alma mater). Doug was instrumental in me getting into R. So big thanks to @BatesDmbates !

Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks Dirk. The R landscape certainly wouldn't be anything like it is now without your tremendous input in the the community!

So uhhhhh camel case or snake case? 🙂

@eddelbuettel I am glad that you did. I appreciate all your time and efforts. Thank you very much.

Thanks indeed.

Would love to know more how you got involved both in Debian and R
