<div> </div>
<div>it's great to hear that the GRASS project is about to embrace DOI and long term archiving by Zenodo.<br/>
</div>
<div>The MOSS project minted its first DOI as a proof concept in the process of becoming a OSGeo heritage project (https://zenodo.org/record/4719685#.YKzpGKgzaUk). For this, we used stakeholders roles according to MARC21 like the R project does: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2012-1/RJournal_2012-1_Hornik~et~al.pdf</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, ways to retro-provide DOI versioning for previous GRASS releases would be an rewarding topic to discuss with Data Cite (the DOI infrastructure community). DOI for software versioning is is still a developing topic. Feedback from the GRASS community would be valuable to push this forward.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> [release planning] Enable Zenodo before 7.8.6 and 8.0.0</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let's enable the Zenodo link before 7.8.6 and 8.0(.0?) releases to get DOIs and Zenodo records.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Solving the whole DOI linking and Zenodo archiving for the old versions may be complex [1], but enabling the link between GitHub and Zenodo is trivial (one click) and every newly created GitHub release (we do those) will be automatically registered and receive DOI.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Zenodo uses a system of DOI versions and a main DOI (Concept DOI). Whether it is an ideal system, that's a question, but it is currently the expected one since it is the same for everything on Zenodo. It is used automatically when using the GitHub-Zenodo integration.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It seems I have the permissions to enable it for GRASS GIS. The one who enables that becomes a maintainer of it. I'm fine with that, but I won't be uploading any older versions. The <span class="gmail-ng">maintainer</span> can be changed later by contacting Zenodo support [2].</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Although there are things to figure out in terms of next steps, I don't see much risk in enabling it. There are no choices available in the setup or in terms of alternatives. DOI and some kind of registration are expected more and more.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>
