Posit

RStudio is becoming Posit

To posit means to put forth an idea for discussion. Data scientists spend much of their day positing hypotheses that they then evaluate with data.

Our name may be changing, but our commitment to helping data scientists use open source software to ask and answer important questions remains the same.
