This allows them to have an overview of all things "GMT" preserved in Zenodo: <br><a target="_blank" href="https://zenodo.org/communities/generic-mapping-tools/records">https://zenodo.org/communities/generic-mapping-tools/records</a> <br> <br>Once a OSGeo community has been registered in Zenodo, we will be able to gain an overview of all OSGeo-related deposits in Zenodo, including software releases, but also data, publications, etc. <br> <br>OSGeo has already registered a ROR ID at the Research Organsiation Registry, which can be used as a unique ID for the OSGeo Zenodo community: <br><a target="_blank" href="https://ror.org/00cjqbk89">https://ror.org/00cjqbk89</a> <br> <br>Details about the Zenodo community set-up process here: <a target="_blank" href="https://help.zenodo.org/docs/communities/">https://help.zenodo.org/docs/communities/</a> <br> <br>Should the Board decide to register an OSGeo Zenodo group, we can appoint volunteers taking on different roles in the curation process in a next step (Reader, Curator, Manager, Owner). <br> <br>I it helps I'll gladly volunteer to drive this effort. <br> <br> <br>Kind regards, <br>Peter <br> <br> <br> <br><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:peter.loewe@gmx.de">peter.loewe@gmx.de</a>> <br>_______________________________________________ <br>Board mailing list <br><a target="_blank" href="mailto:Board@lists.osgeo.org">Board@lists.osgeo.org</a> <br><a target="_blank" href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board</a> <br></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
