I had just started grad school in fall ‘98 and was taking a stats class with Bates. He mentioned this R thing he was involved with...

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

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