Some history of open-source software and data storage for data science

Our speaker is Doug Bates who has been involved in the development of software for data science for over 50 years and has had the pleasure of being part of the R community since its inception. He will describe his view of the development path and how we have ended up with many high-quality tools for data science. He will discuss an important aspect of having many such tools - the desirability of using cross-platform data representations such as Arrow tables for the exchange of structured data.
