Abstract

Summary: All of the papers in this special collection have been shaped by and/or have helped shape PRAGMA. This paper, a reflection on PRAGMA, will provide additional technical, scientific, and human context to many of these papers. We hope to illustrate that it is the people who set directions by following their interests or posing questions, who make progress by honoring their commitments and who build community by establishing open communications and trust.
