Dear all,

We enabled the GitHub-Zenodo connection some time ago and now we have a
first release on GitHub (7.8.6RC2) which was turned into a Zenodo record.

The example citation on Zenodo looks like this (the downloadable citations
have a longer author list, auto-generated from GitHub contributions):

Martin Landa, Markus Neteler, Markus Metz, Anna Petrasova, glynnc, HamishB,
Vaclav Petras, huhabla, Huidae Cho, Luca Delucchi, Pietro, Michael Barton,
Yann Chemin, Tomas Zigo, Māris Nartišs, ostepok, Helmut Kudrnovsky,
mlennert, nilason, … mmacata. (2021). OSGeo/grass: GRASS GIS 7.8.6RC2
(7.8.6RC2). Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5176031

The metadata can be edited on Zenodo, but a better way is to include a
CITATION.cff file which is newly supported by Zenodo (since July 28) or a
.zenodo.json file which can include Zenodo-specific information.

There is also a "cite-all-versions" DOI which redirects to whatever was the
latest release (that is most recent, not highest):

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5176030

Software citations are work in progress, so please don't expect much, but
please do share any questions or concerns.

Best,
Vaclav
