[Geo4All] Who's using Zenodo for Open Educational Ressources ? A didicated GeoForAll community on Zenodo ?

[Peter Löwe OSGeo]

Dear GeoForAll community,

OSGeo has been embracing FAIR and Open Science for a while, inlcluding 
the use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) such as DOI (for code, data and 
publications), ORCID (for people) and ROR (for organisations):

- OSGeo has its ROR (Research Organisation Registry) ID: 
https://ror.org/00cjqbk89

- We have over 700 hours / >2300 videos of FOSS4G conference recordings 
and earlier releated materials citable by DOI in the scientific video 
portal of the German national library TIB: 
https://av.tib.eu/search?q=OSGeo, going back to 1987 (GRASS GIS video 
commercial: https://doi.org/10.5446/12963)

- Over 24 OSGeo projects 
(https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/open-geoscience/) have minted DOI for 
their code bases by Zenodo Open Access archive (www.zenodo.org), which 
allows scientific citation down to specific code releases in scientific 
publications (e.g. QGIS cited in Nature: 
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10233-z (reference 52 cites QGIS 
v3.44.7))

- Within Zenodo, a growing number OSGeo-related Open Access deposits are 
collected in the OSGeo Zenodo sub-community: 
https://zenodo.org/communities/osgeo/

However, a search in Zenodo for "GeoForAll" only finds two works by the 
NCSU team (thank you!): 
https://zenodo.org/search?q=GeoForAll&l=list&p=1&s=10&sort=bestmatch

I assume that much more GeoForAll-related content lives already on 
Zenodo (which is free of charge, is funded by the EC taxpayers as a long 
term global infrastructure and is Open Source itself), but we can find 
it due to lack of metadata.

So my questions are:

1) Who of you all is using Zenodo already for long term Open Access to 
their Open Eductaional Ressources ?

2) Shall we set up a dedicated Zenodo community for GeoForAll ?

A Zenodo comunity is basically a flag / attribute which can be set when 
OER content (or alike) is deposited in Zenodo. All poposed content will 
be curated and checked for appropriateness. 
 
Please share your thoughts !


Best,
Peter
