[GRASS-PSC] Preservation of Spearfish data set on Zenodo

2023-08-09 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi PSC,

 

earlier this year it was agreed to deposit the Spearfish dataset on Zenodo.

 

The original GRASS4-dataset finally just got its DOI: 
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7930523

The Spearfish datasets for GRASS5/6/7/8 will be added as versions with their own version DOI.

 

Here's a question regarding possible redundancvies:

 

 


For GRASS 5.x there are three distinct versions for the Spearfish dataset according to https://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/

 

spearfish_grass60data-0.1.tar.gz

spearfish_grass60data-0.3.tar.gz

spearfish_grass60data.tar.gz

 

Both archives "0.1" and "0.3" have the same filesize, while "grass60data" is slightly smaller.

 

Should all three versions be preserved and versioned by DOI ? 

 

Best,

Peter

Re: [GRASS-PSC] Proposal: Display GRASS DOI icon on project webpage

2023-04-09 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi Vero, all,

 

the DOI badge (and maybe a short explanation what can be done with it) should definitely be included in https://grass.osgeo.org/about/license/

 

However, to get a similar discoverablity effect as for PROJ, GDAL, etc. I would suggest to also put the the icon right under the GRASS logo which sits currently below VIEW GALLERY and LATEST NEWS.

 

This could even become a news item by itself .. ?

 

Best & happy Easter (if applicable),

Peter

Hi Peter,

 

I like the proposal, thanks!

 

Where in our website would you suggest to include the DOI badge? Our landing page is already a bit stuffed. This could be an option https://grass.osgeo.org/about/license/ as there's the citation there. What do you think?

Hello PSC,

I would like to propose to include the DOI icon (https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.7764250.svg) for GRASS GIS on a prominent spot on the GRASS GIS project page (https://grass.osgeo.org/). This is should require little effort but will result in benefitial consequences and visibility for the project community and GRASS GIS applications across all fields of Science.

It's been over a year that a DOI was registered for GRASS GIS. Other projects, such as PROJ and GDAL have also registered DOI. While this is great in itself, preserving OSGeo projects as part of the scientific record, enabling scientific citation, etc.,  this has not yet been announced to the greater public.

In the meantime other projects such as PROJ, GDAL and Mapserver have already included their DOI icons in their web pages (e.g. https://gdal.org/).

It seems that this alone already suffices to motivate and enable scientists to give due credit to the sofware projects and the project communities by DOI-based citation, including hi-visibility journals such as Nature.

Here are two recent examples for GDAL:
[2023-1] Scientific Data: A 1.2 Billion Pixel Human-Labeled Dataset for Data-Driven Classification of Coastal Environments (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-01929-2) -> Reference #40

The benefits of DOI based citation are twofold: As stated, the software projects receive proper credit, but in addition we will better understand from the publication records where and for what GRASS GIS is put to use.

The code snippets for the GRASS GIS DOI are provided by the GRASS GIS landing page on Zenodo in HTML, markdown and other formats (right-click on the black/blue DOI icon on the right side of the page):

[GRASS-PSC] Proposal: Let's have a GRASS GIS group in Zenodo

2023-03-27 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi PSC,

another proposal: Can we have a Zendo group for all things GRASS GIS ? AFAIK, 
Zenodo groups are similar to thematic tags. Joining a group must be ok'd by the 
group owner (-> we should discuss Zenodo roles at some point).

FWIW, I'll propose the same to the OSGeo board regarding a OSGeo goup in Zenodo.

[GRASS-PSC] DOI for GRASS reference data sets

2023-03-26 Thread Peter Löwe

Hello PSC,

I would like to suggest to register persistent DOI for GRASS GIS related 
reference data sets such as Spearfish and North Carolina by preserving them in 
the Open Access repository Zenodo (www.zenodo.org).

There are already several GRASS-related datasets on Zenodo:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DOI#GRASS_GIS

One indicator of their relevance for science are the access- and download 
numbers from Zenodo, e.g. https://zenodo.org/record/3359632#.ZCBTjXZBxD8

Kind regards,
Peter

Re: [GRASS-PSC] GRASS DOI

2022-06-22 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi Vero, PSC, all,

 

this discussion might get us to the current edge of software citation best practices: this topic is not (yet) mentionend in the FAIR Principles for Research Software (https://rd-alliance.org/group/fair-research-software-fair4rs-wg/outcomes/fair-principles-research-software-fair4rs)

 

IMHO, updating the contributor list for every release compares to a new volume of a Journal Publication (as an analogy for the GRASS project with its Concept DOI).

 

I propose to reach out to the RDA / FORCE 11 communities on this, which should be quick & easy.

 

Best,

Peter

What do you think? IMHO the CITATION.cff / .zenodo.json could change
from release to release since the contributors per release are
changing.

 

I personally like this idea as it seems fair to those contributing more in each release.

Re: [GRASS-PSC] GRASS DOI

2022-01-13 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi all,

I'm not part of the PSC but would like to strongly encourage to include ORCIDs.

Once this is achieved, credit for each following GRASS release will automatically be transferred to all ORCID accounts in the commiters list. Commiters without an ORCID will still benefit from the citation options ("Cite as") on the GRASS landing page at Zenodo.

Seems like none of the other OSGeo projects using DOI has implemented that (except for an early proof of content for the ploewe/MOSS github repo -> https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4931427 :-) ).

Could be another first for the GRASS project !

Best,

Peter

.zenodo.json or CITATION.cff both should work now with Zenodo. CITATION.cff is new, but it works as far as I know. .zenodo.json allows you to set some Zenodo specific info. CITATION.cff is picked by other systems such as GitHub or FAIR systems. We could generate one from the other (that was recommended practice before Zenodo started to support CITATION.cff.

In case we generate the file from the existing contributors.csv, we can generate both. Adding ORCiDs there would be nice.

+1 for adding ORCiD for those that have it

Is contributors.csv or starting a new list with the GitHub committers like what GDAL did more appropriate?

Maybe a new one is better. It will probably also depend if we want to list all ppl in the contributors.csv or the main xx as in gdal.

I received a question below from our colleague who knows Markus quite well.
I assume that sending individual cards won?t work well but perhaps we can set up a virtual card that people
from the community can sign? I am not sure what is available but maybe there is a good way how to do this?

[GRASS-PSC] Statement Peter Loewe

2021-01-15 Thread Peter Löwe


Hello GRASS community,

 

a big thanks to everybody who nominated me as a candidate for the next PSC term !

 

Over twenty years ago (1998) I discovered GRASS (4.2.1) to wrangle with weather radar data for a PhD project in South Africa. The PhD project led to one of first GRASS-centered LiveLinux CDs, to make scientific results, software, and data open, accessible and reusable [1]. In 2000 I joined the newly founded german GRASS Anwender Verein (now FOSSGIS), serving as Deputy Chair 2008 – 2009.

 

I have used GRASS professionally for the development of Tsunami early warning systems, satellite based remote sensing workflows, and cluster-based high performance computing. Currently I am responsible for the scientific infrastructure of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), where GRASS is used on a daily basis to process data from longitudinal surveys. DIW Berlin was also proud to host GRASS codesprint 2019.

 

GRASS has enabled me to explore new GIS use cases and to develop add-ons for GRASS 5.x/6.x, inluding expert system integration, 3d printing, and GRASS software citation, the latter with the support of Vaclav Petras.

 

Since 2007 I’ve been supporting OSGeo as an elected Charter member, becoming co-Chair of the Open Geoscience Committee (together with Maxi Cannata) in 2016, when the GRASS community also elected me to serve in the previous GRASS PSC term.

 

I advocate GRASS and OSGeo in the Earth and Space Informatics (ESSI) chapters of both the European Geoscience Union (EGU) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU), by organising annual Townhall events and have helped to negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding between OSGeo and AGU in 2017.

 

When working at the German National Library's of Science and Technology (TIB), I established the still continuing collection of OSGeo releated scientific videos and conference recordings in the TIB online collection for scientific video, beginning with the GRASS 1987 promotional video, narrated by William Shatner (-> Star Trek Original Series) [2][3].  Since then, every year over 100 hours of OSGeo-related video from FOSS4G conferences are now being preserved by TIB for education and research. This includes the beautiful renderings of the evolution of the GRASS codebase by Markus Neteler [4].


If I should be elected for the new PSC, I will push for these topics:

 

- Education and reach out to early career scientists to get new generations of users and developers on board, especially in developing nations.

 

- Professional recognition for GRASS related work by scientific citation and reference, both for new code but also maintenance of the codebase and generation of data.  

 

- Fostering exchange with organisations advancing the state-of-art of good scientific practice, like the FAIR prinicples (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and Open Science. The GRASS community is a role model for this. They can learn from us and we can learn from them.

 

- Long term software curation and discovery: Now that the GRASS repo is git-based, we can tie into global repository infrastructures (Zenodo, re3data) for long term archiving and code preservation.

 

- Improving the discoverability and fostering reuse of the growing GRASS-/OSGeo-related video "library".

 

- A „historical“-section in the GRASS web presence to provide information about GRASS-related real-world memorabilia and artifacts of the last 37 years, including the GRASS manual signed by William Shatner, historic tape reels, T-Shirt designs from the 1980s, etc. 

 

Best,

Peter

Re: [GRASS-PSC] proposal: winGRASS 32bit versions - phasing out in 2020

2020-04-22 Thread Peter Löwe

Helmut, all,

was the announcement of the discontinuation of winGRASS 32bit communicated via 
the OSGeo-announce list (or similar) ?

If that has been the case (and there was no feedback) I'd propose to 
discontinue winGRASS 32bit by July 31 2020, as was announced (documentation 
about the build process should be preserved, for the case that winGRASS 32bit 
builds might be needed in the future).

Otherwise I'd advise another announcement in the OSGeo-announce list 
(mentioning the July 31 deadline).

Cheers from Potsdam,
Peter

Dear PSC,

After a long time of discussions and developments, the first prototype
of the new GRASS GIS website is available at
https://staging.grass.osgeo.org/ with the code available at
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website .

The entire project follows what has been discussed earlier:
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Website_migration_plan_2019
We requested OSGeo in 2019 to cover the development with 6000 USD, see
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2019 - given the
delays it was moved to
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2020 . See therein
for the related OSGeo budget wiki page.

This motion is to vote on the first payment of 4000 USD (out of 6000
USD) to the developer, Nicolas Bozon (https://github.com/nbozon). Some
issues are still open and he scheduled to continue further work on the
Hugo code later this month.

The money transfer can then be directly done from OSGeo to the
developer (already clarified with the OSGeo treasurer).

Motion:
I start with a +1.

Best,
Markus

PS: once the web site is sufficiently (!) completed we'll switch the
DNS entries:
  https://grass.osgeo.org/ --> https://old.grass.osgeo.org/ , and
  https://staging.grass.osgeo.org/ --> https://grass.osgeo.org/

I guess there are be some in Prague, but...

 

Or do we need to print more?

 


 

...I would suggest to print more. I did not go through the approved budged in detail, but it looks like we have a budged for it as we planned. Rather than sending them from one person to the other, I would prefer everybody who needs them to have their supply (i.e., you are going for a conference, you get them yourself - we can exchange some know-how if needed). Also, they are not flyers, so they don't go out of date. What do you think?








 

+1 for printing more stickers (i.e., a total of 1000 or so), maybe in different orders so to send them to different locations. In that way, all of us get some and can then take to local events.

[GRASS-PSC] GRASS GIS budget 2020 - was: Re: [Board] OSGeo Budget 2020

2019-12-27 Thread Peter Löwe

Hello Markus, hi PSC,

regarding our surplus from 2019, does the item "Travel grants for community sprints: 1043.09 EUR" summarize all costs for both events in Berlin and the Prague (including food, drinks, etc.) ? If the numbers for 2019 are complete, it seems like we only spent 20% of the requested budget.

The preliminary planned 2020 budget is currently slightly lower than the 2019 budget, however we should be prepared to answer questions on how we really intend to spend the overall amount - and to avoid overbudgeting as in 2019 (provided that the numbers are complete).

Kind regards,

Peter

Dear PSC

I was thinking that we should definitely print some stickers to bring to the OSGeo booth at FOSS4G in Bucharest, as we have done in the past. I think stickers give us some visibility, everyone likes them and no folding is needed as compared to flyers :p

I ordered from Stickermule last time and the quality was much better than that of sticker-app. I thought of ordering 500 die cut stickers (same as last year) with GRASS logo (https://www.stickermule.com/products/die-cut-stickers). Choosing the smallest dimension (also as last year), it's something like ~150 dollars. However, since our logo is not exactly 2x2 inches, price is a bit less IIRC.

If PSC agrees, I can assist with the ordering process, but cannot really pay with my credit card this time. So, it would be great if we can pay directly from GRASS bank account.

What do you say?

[GRASS-PSC] git migration / going Zenodo

2019-04-23 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi Markus, PSC,

apologies for following up on this so late.

The grass-legacy structure in GitHub is fine, of course.

Regarding the options how to integrate with Zenodo, I believe we're on the right track. There is an alternative option by manual/Zebodo-API-based integration, but I don't believe this makes sense. All feedback from the Zenodo helpdesk on this has been included in the "future plans" section of the wiki page: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GitMigration

best,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Hi Markus, hi PSC,

the reason why I believe we should consider the Zenodo option (for long term archiving and DOI-based scientific recognition/citation) before making the switch to GitHub is the DOI versioning capability of Zenodo (https://blog.zenodo.org/2017/05/30/doi-versioning-launched/). This is similar to the mechanism implented for the GRASS module manual pages, where references from outdated versions point to the current release of the module (and man page). The DOI-versioning mechanism in Zenodo additionally implements a version history as a hsitorical sequence of releases. This means that the DOI version for GRASS 4.2.1 predates GRASS 4.3, which predates GRASS5.x, etc. etc. and all also point to the latest release.

Yes: each release is a point in time.

The GRASS SVN contains the release branches dating back to GRASS 5. In addition there are tarballs from the GRASS 4.x era (-> what about GRASS 3.x or earlier ?).

Please check our work already done:

I have reconstructed the releases back to 3.2 including time stamps at file level.

https://github.com/grass-svn2git/grass-legacy

Note that the URL will change to OSGeo organization soon.

Making all these releases available for scientific citation (and recognition) through one versioned DOI in the described "timely sequence" is a more complex task than what's covered in the how-to guides for GitHub-Zenodo-integration (https://genr.eu/wp/cite/).

We have all branches there, since 1987.

I've contacted the Zenodo helpdesk for advice how this should be approached and will report back ASAP.

It would be a pity (and waste of ressources) if we make the effort to create a GitHub repo for GRASS once and then having to redo it because of some pecularities of the DOI-versioning mechanism.

Still I don't see why we should redo it.

Does the new structure not address it?

Did you check it?

Best,

Markus

[GRASS-PSC] git migration: Zenodo optionS

2019-04-02 Thread Peter Löwe

Hi Markus, hi list,

I was raising the Zenodo-topic, since this might strategically affect how we 
need to structure the GRASS repository / repositories on GitHub, so we can make 
the most out of Zenodo for scientific citation later.

Zenodo currenlty mints for EACH SINGLE GitHub-project which is checked in 
EXACTLY ONE persistent identifier ("unbreakable Web-link"), a Digital Object 
Identifier (DOI). DOI have become crucial for scientific citation and 
indirectly also for the careers of early career scientists (who need lots a 
citations to eventually get tenure/rich)

Whenever there's a new release of the project repo on GitHub, the corresponding 
repo- instance in Zenodo is updated accordingly and the DOI is also updated to 
a new version (note: it's the same DOI, NOT a new/different DOI). This compares 
to the update note on GRASS man pages ("Note: A new GRASS GIS stable version 
has been released: GRASS GIS 7.6, available here. Updated manual page: here").

In this manner we're dealing with two different flavours of DOI-based 
reference: 1.) The "overall" DOI for the archived (GRASS-)software repo and 2.) 
the continuously increased version/release numbers (e.g. citing "GRASS GIS" 
versus a particular release "GRASS 4.2.1"; "GRASS 5.3", "GRASS 7.4", etc.). 

So from the Zenodo/DOI perspective need to consider (at least) two options for 
using GitHub:

a) We could _SPLIT_ the overall GRASS repo and create individual GitHub repos 
for each currently existing GRASS release, so each gets its own distinct DOI 
(this would allow for backports to be considered new (DOI)versions of the 
particular GRASS releases).

b) We keep __ONE__ GRASS project GUI, and get __ONE__ DOI for the greater GRASS 
project wich has LOTS of versions. Suggestion: We could start filling the repo 
(already linked with Zenodo) consecutively, beginning with the oldest archived 
GRASS releases, minting a DOI-version for each one. In this manner, each old 
GRASS release will receive it's own  distinct __version__ of the overall DOI. 
Things could get messy lateron, when backports to previous releases are made, 
which will also cause DOI version updates, but AFAIK there's no way yet to sort 
through all DOI versions (just) for a specific GRASS release.

We also should consider that Zenodo currently can't handle fine-grained DOI, to 
cite a particular GRASS module within a certain GRASS release. There's still a 
lot of development going on both in the DOI infrastructure and Zenodo, so this 
might come as a later step.

Another interesting aspect is the issue of ownership and due credit: Both the 
GRASS repo(s) on GitHub and the corresponding Zendo-archive(s) must have 
owners. This should be IMHO the "GRASS Development Team". Therefore the 
GRASS-related DOI(s) will be attributed to the GRASS Developer Team. We should 
think about a way, to link the ORCIDs of team members ("persitent identifiers 
for individual persons" https://orcid.org) to the GRASS DOI(s). This is not 
trivial (but innovative), but can be tackled later.  

best,
Peter

[GRASS-PSC] git migration: the Zenodo option

2019-04-01 Thread Peter Löwe

Hello PSC,

 

before we actually venture into GitHub, I propose we should consider beforehand how the GRASS repo(s) *could* make use  of the Zenodo archive in the future, so we can set up things in a way that this option can be used (setting up of credentials, etc.). Zenodo is a open-access long term scientific archive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenodo), operated and maintained by CERN. The Zenodo software itself is also FOSS.

Connecting repos on GitHub with Zenodo is easy: https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/

 

IMHO we could use this mechanism to provide scientific citability and long term preservation for the old stable releases GRASS 4.x, 5.x and 6.x.

peter

Hi PSC,

to follow up on the software citation topic, here's a short tutorial which 
describes how guthub and Zenodo can be linked:

IMHO it would make a lot of sense to provide proper scientific citation for 
GRASS releases 4.x - 6.x. Backports to these releasess will still be feasible.

Re: [GRASS-PSC] Opportunity: Enabling FAIR Data project commitment statement

2018-09-20 Thread Peter Löwe

Hello Stefan, PSC,

sorry for answering so late.

The trend towards Open Science and FAIR ("requires less openness as Open 
Science, but is much better than closed/inaccessible data") is affecting the 
fields of science in parallel, but at different velocities. Up to my knowledge 
there is yet no world standard for FAIR except for the definition of the FAIR 
principles (https://www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples) by the 
FORCE11 community.

There are various entities who "approve" and "collect" repositories:

The re3data project/portal (Registry of Research Data Repositories 
https://www.re3data.org/), which is synced with DataCite (DOI: "weblinks for 
data-citation which will never expire/outdate") and ORCID ("unique digital IDs 
for researchers"), currently gives an overview over 2000 different 
repositories, which meet their minimal requirements (be run by a legal entity, 
such as a sustainable institution (e.g. library, university) AND clarify access 
conditions  to the data and repository as well as the terms of use AND have 
focus on research data).

Another effort on the national level is the german council for social- and 
economic data, which is a federation of approved repositories in the social 
sciences (https://www.ratswd.de/en ) 

The new GO FAIR initiative (currently involved: Netherlands, France, Germany - 
intends to include as many european nations and neighbouring nations as 
possible) is just emerging They are also applying the FORCE11/FAIR-principles: 
https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/).

Does this help ?

best,
Peter

[GRASS-PSC] Opportunity: Enabling FAIR Data project commitment statement

2018-09-10 Thread Peter Löwe

Hello PSC,
I would like to propose that the PSC signs the online commitment statement
provided by the Enabling FAIR Data project on behalf of the GRASS GIS project.

Background:
The Enabling FAIR project is funded by the Arnold Foundation (comparable to the
Gates Foundation. Details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_and_John_Arnold_Foundation) and managed by
AGU, the American Geophysical Union (OSGeo has a MOU with AGU. Details:
https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/osgeo-and-agu-sign-a-memorandum-of-understanding/).

The project goal is to create an initial critical mass of researchers, research
institutes and organisations, publishers, data repositories und funding
agencies to establish the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,
Reusable) as best practices in the (Geo-)Sciences.

Since last year I have been representing the OSGeo within the project.

The project has now released an online commitment statement, which IMHO is of
interest for the GRASS community.
The full text (& online signing opportunity) of the commitment statement is
available here:
http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/

The core statement is:

--snip--
we commit to these goals:
Ensuring that Earth, space, and environmental science research outputs,
including data, software, and samples or standard information about them, are
open, FAIR, and curated in trusted domain repositories whenever possible and
that other links and information related to scholarly publications follow
leading practices for transparency and information.

This means that:
Publication of scholarly articles in the Earth, space, and environmental
science community is conditional upon the concurrent availability of the data
underpinning the research finding, with only a few, standard, widely adopted
exceptions, such as around privacy for human subjects or to protect heritage
field samples.

These data should, to the greatest extent possible, be shared, open, and stored
in community-approved FAIR-aligned repositories. Leading repositories provide
additional quality checks around domain data and data services and facilitate
discovery and reuse of data and other research outputs.

The statement has already been signed by the gvSig project and will be signed
by the OSGeo board soon.

To my understanding, the goals of the project and GRASS GIS are highly
compatible and we're actually already on track to establish a open source
infrastructure for FAIR. Because of this I would like to propose that PSC signs
the commitment statement on behalf of the GRASS GIS Project.

Overview over all signatories so far:
http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/signatories/

Please note that the commitment statement can be signed both by organisations
and individuals. I would like encourage everybody to sign the statement
personally.

Best,
Peter

[GRASS-PSC] new core developers: past procedures ?

Hi Markus, hi PSC,

are there already some kind of time-honored requirements against which 
potential core developer candidates could be gauged, or were gauged in the past 
?

since May is just about to start, I would like to reiterate the question of short term actions for Jim Westervelts upcoming retirement. Can we do a greeting card/flowers, or similar prior to the actions discussed earlier ? Anybody willing to take the lead ?

Hi,

 

does anyone have contact details for Jims family (wife) ? It would be handy to ensure that "someone" blocks relevant dates in his calendar ahead of time. How is this is usually handled for Sol Katz nominees ?

[GRASS-PSC] Request for Opinions: Preservation of video footage from Trento 2002

2017-01-23 Thread Peter Löwe

Dear PSC,

TIB Hannover (german national lib for sci & tech) continues to archive both 
recent and past scientific videos from OSGeo and especially GRASS GIS. In this 
vein, the video recordings from the Trento 2002 Meeting are currently ingested. 
Good news: All footage has been preserved, bad news: the quality is by modern 
standards pretty poor (RealMedia format). 
An example of the video quality is available here (beware: it runs 2hours -> 
1.7 Gb !!): 
http://178.248.245.19/mfc/medialink/6/m6462/Applications_and_techniques.mpg 
[listen to Helena at 21:00 minutes, Markus at 1:15 hours, etc .etc.]

TIB is capable to publish the Trento 2002 recordings on its AV-portal, 
including DOIs for each video. However, TIB wants to reconfirm that these 
low-quality videos actually do have value/significance for the OSGeo/GRASS 
community (I strongly believe they do). An alternative approach would be to 
only keep a still image for each video, plus the audio tracks. The decision how 
the videos should be made available will not influenced by costs, but rather 
significance of the content.
Since the recordings are pretty long (2 hours) and cover mutliple presentations 
within a session, it could be a challenge to determine a "fitting" still frame. 
DOI-links, as they are enabled via the TIB AV-portal (using DOI plus "media 
fragment identifiers" MFIDs) are a great way to cite or refer smaller outtakes 
of these lengthy recordings, like individual presentations or specific quotes. 

Your feedback would be much appreciated.

Best,
Peter
