In this keynote, Peter Dalgaard will take us back to R’s origins in the 1990s and trace how its development principles took shape alongside the PC, Internet, and Open-Source revolutions. From there, he’ll unpack how R Core approaches release management, and how governance is shared across the broader ecosystem, including the CRAN team, the R Foundation, and the R Consortium.
