Hello!
We've recently begun working on NeuroFedora, that aims to provide an easy, ready to use Fedora based platform for neuroscience. We're packaging up various software and making them available via the repos (and later via docker images). We also already have Fedora sci-tech that is more general purpose and provides packages and vagrant images. There's also the Astronomy SIG, and more.
Would it be possible for us to create a citation for each Fedora release, using zenodo for example?
Given that we leverage Fedora infrastructure, and while the SIGs focus on NeuroFedora/Scitech and so on, the whole community contributes to the distribution, a single citation for each release would be most useful. It'll give Fedora more visibility, reward the community, and of course, further Free science.
Here's an example of how the NEST initiative does citations for each NEST release: https://zenodo.org/record/1400175
The rescience initiative also uses zenodo: https://rescience-c.github.io/read/

Thank you for your ticket! It sounds like a good idea to me. Are you asking here for permission to do so or do you also need changes/additional support to be able to do this?
Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. I reckon it's a little of both. I looked at what is needed, and off the top of my head these are questions that need to be answered:
This sounds like a good idea to me. I think the implementation is a matter for Mindshare, not Council.
Ah, OK. Could the concil do what they think is their bit and state what mindshare needs to do please?
I had posted this on their ML at the end of September, so I would expect that they are aware of us working on science related things: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/mindshare@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7UYIFRQGZI5O4KNTVOGSG7Y4MYJKI57O/
Sorry this has languished. I don't see that there's any need for action from the Council at this point. Mindshare can handle everything needed, unless someone disagrees.
Should I file a ticket with mindshare then, @bcotton?
The abstract submission deadline for CNS 2019 is in 2 weeks. We're submitting an abstract for NeuroFedora so that we can have a poster at the conference. If we can have the Fedora citation set up before then, we'll be able to cite it :)

Yes, please do. I'll go ahead and close this issue. Thanks for all the work you do on NeuroFedora :clap:
