[LTER-im] Long term storage solutions, cool badges and free DOIs

[Inigo San Gil]

While I was exploring other's people approaches to solutions, I bumped 
into a github badge in the form of a DOI.

I think I saw it before, but this time I took a closer look -- the 
aggregator is Zenodo, a EU FP7 funded initiative that seems quite 
agile.  Zenodo hosts the large hadron collider (LHC) data - the majority 
of LTERs collective data volume is about a couple of days in the life of 
the LHC.  However, Zenodo seems to remove the ridiculous barriers that 
sometimes we see in our doorsteps. Datasets are fair game, as well as 
(and I quote: publications (book, book section, conference paper, 
journal article, patent, preprint, report, thesis, technical note, 
working paper, etc.), posters, presentations, datasets, images (figures, 
plots, drawings, diagrams, photos), software, videos/audio and 
interactive materials such as lessons)

Not that you should take your blinders off, but in case you feel like 
you want to explore or get yourself a cool badge without the upfront 
barrier or "No, Inigo, no", here is another option. Come to think about 
it, alternatives abound.  Did you find any? Let me know, please.
