New Agenda Items
- (DPC) Zenodo
- Want to create a DOI for conda on Zenodo, so the project can be referenced.
- Bioconda has a real paper, but conda does not.
- Any reason not to do this?
- Jannis has created an organization in Zenodo
- And the latest conda release now has a DOI. Automagically.
- GitHub repo of conda itself is citeable, as of a year ago or so.
- Jaime There are two types
- Project
- Sub doi's for each release.
- Take homes
- Encourage our sub-projects to create them
- Look into Organization DOI
- (DPC) Time to get off Twitter?
- Suggest "retiring" the account, which means not closing it, but no longer posting to it,
- And then pointing to Mastodon.
- Should we move Mastodon servers? Fosstodon is now invite only.
- Jannis: Create a LinkedIn group?
- Twitter has become toxic, and less usable every week.
- Wolf: why not just post stuff because it's easy?
- Dave: It reflects badly on us to support this.
- Wolf: "When Google leaves, we leave" speaking about Prefix.
- Jannis:
- Create a ticket, summarize what others are doing, and then nominate a candidate solution.
- Marcel: Lean towards moving slowly here. Would still makes sense to keep posting to Twitter.
