In Memoriam: Tom Kalibera

Description:
We have received the sad news that Tom Kalibera, a member of the RProject
core team, has passed away
after a short illness . A friend who knew him well wrote to me: he was very happy, and
his work fulfilled him . That is, perhaps, the best thing one can
say about a life in open source that the work mattered, that it
reached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it.
Kalibera was mentioned in this 2019 article about C
programs passing strings to Fortran subroutines. He will be greatly
missed.
