Debian Upstream Metadata and citation file format
Hi,
Ole pointed me to the citation file format[1] which seems to be pretty
interesting.

I've created preliminary packages for doi2cff[2] on Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/doi2cff
(please note that python3-ruamel.yaml from experimental is needed)
$ doi2cff init 10.1093/bioinformatics/btp347
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/doi2cff", line 11, in <module>

raise NotImplemented('Unable to process doi, converter not implemented')
TypeError: 'NotImplementedType' object is not callable
Is anybody able to verify this?

I'm in favour of this.

I think this is a good idea. As far as I can see from a quick view
stripping some fields from d/u/metadata and adding
cff-version: 1.0.3
should do the trick which is pretty easily scriptable (if I'm not
missing anything due to my very quick view on it).

Yes, I'll register the usual BoFs. This year my decision to go to
DebConf was drawn pretty late - to late for registering any talk.
But I plan to register the BoFs for the "inofficial" track.
