In Memoriam: Tomáš Kalibera

We have received the sad news that Toma Kalibera, a member of theRProject core team, haspassed awayafter a short illness.

A friend who knew him well wrote to me: he was very happy, andhis work fulfilled him. That is, perhaps, the best thing one cansay about a life in open source - that the work mattered, that itreached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it.

Kalibera was mentioned in this 2019 article about Cprograms passing strings to Fortran subroutines. He will be greatlymissed.
