It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1 April of Tomáš Kalibera, a valuable member of the R Core Team for close to 10 years, after a short but aggressive illness.
Tomáš brought in fresh perspective and knowledge, enabling him to improve many aspects of R, including performance and reliability. He created many tools to support package authors, and modernized the Windows build of R.
He is survived by his wife and 1 year old son. A full obituary will be posted in due time.
