If you're going to the useR! 2013 conference in Albecete, Andrie will be attending and speaking there. The press release also included the following quote from Robert Gentleman:

Robert Gentleman, one of the co-authors of the original R programming language and a member of the Revolution Analytics board of directors, said, “We wrote R to support our research and to provide students with tools for writing programmes to visualise and analyse data. It was adopted by the open source community and, largely due to the efforts of the R Core Team, has scaled exponentially over the past ten years to a vast range of functions and capabilities. It is wonderful to see how it has taken off and has been enhanced by the community. Business needs are changing with ever larger data sets to analyse and a requirement for faster modelling times that can support real time decision making and greater analytic experimentation. Revolution Analytics helps organisations achieve this by taking R up to an enterprise and production level of software and support.”
