[GRASS-PSC] GRASS DOI

Peter Loewe is including the OSGeo projects' DOI in the Springer Handbook
chapter about open source geospatial
and we noticed that the authors names are messy (some are just ID) - I
assume that this is autogenerated and I am wondering
what would be the best way to fix it. Vashek, did you set this up? Do you
have any suggestions?
Here is the GRASS DOI link
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537

Thank you, Helena

Helena,

I just checked the DOI landing page for GRASS GIS (
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537).
It's amazing to see how the content has grown.

One minor detail: Your name shows in the list of authors in uppercase
letters, unlike the other authors. Is this intended ?

1. 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, Stefan Blumentrath, William Kyngesburye, Linda
Kladivova, aghisla, Veronica Andreo, 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson, Denis Ovsienko,
madi, HELENA MITASOVA, Carmen Tawalika, Caitlin H.: OSGeo/grass: GRASS GIS
8.0.0RC1, (2021)

Cheers,
Peter

Corrections and updates for all chapters are being implemented and checked.
The Handbook is now scheduled to be published in 2022.
