Howto: Registering a DOI for a OSGeo software Project

Requirements

This should be done by a person who represents the software project (member of PSC or similar).

Options

ORCIDs for authors, developers and other project staff can be embedded in the DOI metadata, allowing for proper citation.

Option 1: Upload a snapshot

Pro: Takes less than 10 minutes to achieve Pro: Can be extended with better integration options Con: Metadata (author list) must be edited manually. (ORCID option ?) Example: rasdaman project


Option 2: Create a live link between the GitHub Repo and Zenodo

Pro: Immediate automated updates of DOI payload and metadata for each software release on GitHub Con: Takes a bit longer than option 1 (20 minutes ?)
