“Open Source Diva” Danese Cooper Joins REvolution Computing

REvolution Computing, a leading provider of open source predictive analytics solutions, announced that Danese Cooper has joined the Company as Open Source Diva. Ms. Cooper will head up REvolution’s outreach to communities of developers not yet familiar with the R language and its potential to solve problems and better inform decisions through predictive analytics.

Cooper said, “In a classic pattern of open source adoption and growth, R is being used to expand predictive choices at places like Google, Facebook, Novell, and throughout the life sciences and financial services industries. My role is to build bridges between REvolution Computing and the expanding community of R so that everyone can benefit from a robust exchange of ideas and experimentation.”

REvolution Computing CEO Richard Schultz said, “We are really excited to have Danese join our team. She brings a wealth of experience from Sun and Intel, as well as deep knowledge about open source community dynamics...and she likes to drive really fast, which is sort of a pre-requisite around here.”
