<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Let's enable the Zenodo link before 7.8.6 and 8.0(.0?) releases to get DOIs and Zenodo records.<br></div><div><br></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><br></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><br></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].<br></div><div><br></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.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Vaclav<br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GitHub-Zenodo_linkage" target="_blank">https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GitHub-Zenodo_linkage</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://github.com/zenodo/zenodo/issues/826" target="_blank">https://github.com/zenodo/zenodo/issues/826</a></div></div>
