Ian, all,
thanks for registering a DOI for GeoTools. Looks good from my side !
GeoTools and the project committers will get due credit by DOI-based reference in the Springer Handbook project.

Those of you who have registered a ORCID want to check your ORCID account following the next software release in the GitHub repo: There will be a new entry in the "works" section giving credit for the release.
Best,
Peter

I think I've solved all the wrinkles and created https://zenodo.org/record/5854676 which gives our base as doi://10.5281/zenodo.5854676 - and I've added the .zenodo.json file to the repository so I think it should get picked up in subsequent releases when I backport it.
Fetching all the contributors from github was a little weird (I'm not sure I got the number it showed me) plus some of you don't have names - where I knew who you worked for I've added affiliations but feel free to edit the file to add affiliations and orcids (https://orcid.org/) if you have them
Peter, please let me know if I've messed this up somehow?
Ian

Dear GeoTools developers,
I'm reaching out to you because of an opportunity for the GeoTools community, which surfaced recently:
The upcoming second edition of the Springer Handbook of Geoinformatics (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-72680-7) will cover the GeoTools project. The Handbook project has been delayed due to the Pandemic, but will be completed in a few weeks. I am serving as the editor of the Handbook chapter about Open Source Geoinformatics.
Recently, new workflows for scientific citation of software projects have emerged and are becoming state of the art. This includes references by persistent digital object identifiers (DOI) to software projects instead of URLs. DOI-based references allow to give due credit to the whole project team, including first authors, developers, but also maintainers and people in other roles.
The OSGeo projects GRASS GIS, GMT, MapServer, MOSS and rasdaman have already registered their own DOI, OSGeoLive, pygeoapi and pycsw will follow soon.
As an example, this is the DOI for GRASS GIS: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537
Hands on information how to register a DOI for a OSGeo project are available here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid).
The Editors of the Springer Handbook agree that including DOI references for Open Source projects is a win-win-scenario for the upcoming book and also the OSGeo project communities. They have extended the production deadline until January 20 to give additional software projects the opportunity to register a DOI to be included in the book chapter.
If the GeoTools project reserves or registers a DOI (takes only a few minutes) before the deadline of January 20, I would gladly include it in the Open Source Geoinformatics chapter reference section.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Peter
