Done.

Congratulations to both GDAL and PROJ for minting their DOI !

Best,

> >> Hello gdal-dev-list,
> >>
> >> regarding the current discussion on how to register DOI for GDAL, I've contacted the helpdesks of Zenodo and DataCite. DataCite is the organisation providing the global DOI-infrastructure. Zenodo is an open access repository where a growing number of OSGeo projects already have registered DOI for their codebases.
> >>
> >> The question is whether once a DOI for GDAL has been registered manually/retrospectively for the current release (GDAL 3.4.1) it will be feasible to switch to automated DOI versioning for all future GDAL releases.
> >>
> >> The DataCite helpdesk confirms, this approach from their infrastructure perspective: "From the DataCite side I don't see anything that would mean the manual workflow could not change to an automated one, but this is something that Zenodo would need to confirm."
> >>
> >> The Zenodo helpdesk confirmed this approach last night: "We can actually connect this record to a "virtual" release on our side as if it was actually part of the Github repo. Could you give us more details, for example, the records in question and the GitHub repos?".
> >> -> I have told them that this applies to GDAL (among other projects). No response yet.
> >> Maybe someone of the project community is interested and able to contact the Zenodo help desk directly on this (info at zenodo.org) ?
> >>
> >> The deadline to include a DOI for the GDAL project to the Open Source Chapter of the Springer Handbook on Geographic Information is today end of business Pacific Time.
> >>
> >> By now, ten OSGeo projects will have their DOI referenced in the Chapter (more to come in the next hours). It would be awesome if GDAL could be included, too.
