The project meets our requirements and foundation ideals; but is an open data project, with CC0 rather than software with an OSI license. The request is really to provide a vendor neutral home to collect base station locations allowing GPS cm accuracy.

The check list has been completed at https://gitea.osgeo.org/osgeo/projects-support/issues/3 (if you wish to discuss please add to the ticket rather than reply to this message). With this in mind: Motioning to accept ntrip-catalog as an osgeo repository. The motion is held open for two weeks until Thursday 17 July.

I admit, I was not aware of the project support repo :-) Your point about OSGeo community projects is valid: Some software projects like rasdaman might elect not to undergo full graduation, but will also benefit from DOI and Open Access archiving via Zenodo. Fun fact: Rasdaman was the very first OSGeo project to mint a DOI via Zenodo in 2017 I agree, that "Open" would be an apropriate category for this. More in the PR. Best, Peter Gesendet: Samstag, 4.

The acronym FAIR stands for _F_indability, _A_ccessability, _I_nteroperability and _R_eusability of geospatial software repositories and data. I am raising this topic now, as scientific publishers are changing their best practices for citation of software, to "DOI-based code citation is required": URLs pointing to GitHub-code repos are becoming deprecated. Examples: - Open access publishing platform of the European Commission: https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/for-authors/data-guidelines/#softwarecode - WILEY (American Geophysical Union, Geophysical Union Japan, etc.): https://www.agu.org/publications/authors/journals/data-software-for-authors#citation - Copernicus (Open Access for the European Geoscience ?Union): https://publications.copernicus.org/for_authors/manuscript_preparation.html - Springer Nature: https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/code-policy A growing number of OSGeo projects has already adopted FAIR practices in addition to graduating from the OSGeo incubation process: Geopaparazzi, GEOS, GeoServer, GeoTools, GDAL, GMT, GRASS, gvSig, istSOS, Leaflet, Mapbender, MapServer, MOSS, movingpandas, Orfeo Toolbox, pdal, pgRouting, PostGIS, PROJ, pygeoapi, pygile-plus QGIS, rasdaman, Wradlib, Zoo Detailed technical how-to info for project maintainers lives in the OSGeo wiki: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI These two questions could be added to the project graduation checklist (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_Graduation_Checklist#Open): [open 3]: Open Access Repository: "Has the project established or planned a strategy for long-term preservation and open access distribution of project artifacts (e.g., releases, documentation, datasets) using a trusted open access repository (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, or other OSGeo-approved platforms)?" [open 4]: ?Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) "Does the project utilize or plan to adopt persistent identifiers (PIDs) for contributors (e.g., ORCID) and software releases (e.g., DOIs via Zenodo or other PID registries) to ensure proper attribution and machine-readable citation?" The FAIR score for software projects can be measured with the Automated FAIR Data Assessment Toolkit (F-UJI): https://www.f-uji.net/index.php To see for yourselves, enter these DOI/URL into F-UHI: 1) QGIS: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20444851 2) GDAL: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20083023 3) A random propietary GIS: https://doc.esri.com/en/arcgis-pro/latest/get-started/download-arcgis-pro.html I expect that dding FAIRness to the incubation process will ensure that the OSGeo projects stay up to date, receive due scientific credit and public visibility.
