Add explanation on the CSAMA acronym?

[LucaMarconato]

A nitpick. When opening the CSAMA website, or this repository, I could not find an explanation on the meaning of the CSAMA acronym.

The name CSAMA is established in Bioconductor and likely a brand by now, still, coming from the Python world I found myself wondering on its meaning multiple times. 🥸

Asking an AI agent I got that CSAMA stands for "Computational Statistics for Advanced Molecular Analysis", but digging deeper I learned that this is not correct. From this old GitHub repo for CSAMA 2015 I see that CSAMA stands for "Computational Statistics Applied to Multi-Omics Assays".

I suggest to re-include this explanation in the CSAMA 2026 website.

IIRC if you dig even further back in time, the "MA" stood for "Microarray Analysis"! Maybe it's time for some retro microarray-themed T-shirts 😁

@lwaldron is right, originally the acronym was "Computational and Statistical Aspects of Microarray Analysis", see https://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2003/Milan/.

I guess there was a rebranding in 2015... I think at some point we decided that we didn't need CSAMA to be a proper acronym and that the subtitle "Biological Data Science" was catchy enough.

I can perhaps add an historical note on the name in the 2026 website.
