[R] Congratulations, Ross!

[John Maindonald]

"Associate Professor Ihaka, of the Department of Statistics, was  
recognised with the Royal Society’s Pickering medal for his part in  
developing the statistical computing software R. R, created over 15  
years ago by Dr Ihaka and colleague Robert Gentleman (now at the Fred  
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle), is free software used by  
academics, industry and government worldwide to analyse numerical data  
and present it in graphical forms. Computer programmers globally have  
contributed to R, with over 1000 industry-specific add-ons created."
