you (and maybe Markus and Barend) are somewhat involved in the GeoForAll effort. Could you see if there is interest there or find the appropriate person to check into that? The Journal could be reorganized within GeoForAll if there is interest. </span></div>

Helena, Barend, Eli, all,<br>
<br>
I would propose to preserve all Journal-related ressources via the open access Zenodo repository (<a href="http://zenodo.org/" id="OWA5a644625-9a4e-49ce-2d66-7dbe2ff11ac5" class="x_OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">zenodo.org</a> ->
no costs, professional long term preservation, an open source infrastructure backed by CERN), which is already being used for other OSGeo content, including software, data and publications (<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI" id="OWA8e997706-31b1-d851-7c57-743462902ad3" class="x_OWAAutoLink x_moz-txt-link-freetext" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI</a>).<br>
<br>
While we don't have a common strategy within OSGeo (yet) to interlink such ressources, once they have received DOI (Digital Object Identifiers), they can be discovered, referenced and _interlinked_.<br>
<br>
We have already have that for OSGeo projects which actively use DOI for software versioning: It's feasible to reference either particular software releases or the whole software project. A reference to the project allows to discover all software releases, and
vice verca.<br>
<br>
In a similar fashion, the OSGeo journal could be referenced by DOI, or alternatively individual Journal editions. DOI can be obtained via Zenodo, but also other institutions, like NASA, maybe AGU, etc..<br>
<br>
The most important thing would be to include the OSGeo ROR (persistent id from the research organisation registry, we have this since early 2023) in the metadata when registering a DOI via a repo:<br>

</a>)<br>
<br>
[The ROR ID can also be added to already existing OSGeo DOI]<br>
<br>
This allows in the long run to mine/discover all content preserved in open access repos for OSGeo related content (no matter what it is -> Journal editions, code, data, etc.)<br>
<br>
<br>
So once there will be renewed interest to reboot the Journal, all resources will be ready and usable.<br>
This is compatible with the OSGeo publication in the ISPRS Archives (e.g. <a href="https://us01.z.antigena.com/l/WNmsHkD4llS-jG-rQEhGqcKULrFbdVaSYeAke7uGpkFFWY-qWZmXWFmP8yJX1xt2sWDRnX8R_hDKYpDP1UUgsIVEf~vhloXtAJ~-V3vcj5G-rFGzboU3_HqbiKU-azNrWLB_3nnjplNjI9DcpFjcNEF~WuzLSHO3pakEQv6TkllKizD3sobSG6h6WUfA9tN2-KwYpH5ZrvrJOWBPF~6mBvh95tGPQKVopyjagMn" id="OWAbbfe046c-9f48-cec1-9290-4ac4e033dedc" class="x_OWAAutoLink x_moz-txt-link-freetext" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">

Betreff: Re: [Journal] Current interest level in OSGeo Journal?<br>
<br>
Barend, thank you for answering the email from Eli, I agree that there seems to be no volunteers to pursue this effort, the conference papers were published through other means, mostly special issues of indexed journals,<br>
but it would be useful to give heads-up on OSGeo discuss that the mail list is going to be closed and the past issues will be archived - I cc-d Peter here maybe he has some suggestions <br>
on suitable repository.<br>

No love has indeed gone into that section for many, many years... I could not even find the two volumes I edited, no’s 13 and 14, which hold the papers of the academic tracks of FOSS4G 2013 (Nottingham) and FOSS4G 2014 (Portland) , respectively...<br>

[osgeo.org ]</a>) but are not linked anymore/where from the wiki....? I repaired that bit, but really have no time or interest for more. I suggest someone should at least archive the stuff that is there, maybe just a list of and PDFs of the issues that are
present...?<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The OSGeo Journal email list, the Journal itself, and associated websites have been dormant for years. Are there people interested in this project and effort? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If there are people interested, then perhaps they can have more of a leadership role and re-invigorate the Journal. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If there are not people interested, then perhaps we can ask on the Discuss list as well as connecting with the GeoForAll effort and see if there is a more appropriate home for the Journal somewhere there or related academic realms. I believe that there have
been related successes in the past to publish OSGeo editions in other indexed journals. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If there is no interest anywhere, then perhaps we should update our pages noting that things are dormant or closed, close the email list, and otherwise responsibly wind down the effort. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing thoughts and suggestions. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards, Eli_______________________________________________<br>
