I am happy that Charles had the honor of making this announcement here. We are absolutely delighted. We made the announcement on campus yesterday to an audience that included deans, department heads, and trustees, and the excitement and enthusiasm for Lean and formal mathematics was wonderful. I am humbled by the opportunity.

This is amazing! I'm sure it can make a difference, not only for our community but for all mathematicians.
