[EIC/BNL Computing discussion <eic-bnl-comp-l AT lists.bnl.gov>]

Hello Jerome,

Since it is mentioned in your summary -
I want to add/obtain a little more precision to the Zenodo item -
from what I understood in the last week's Zenodo meeting SDCC indeed
is willing to commit to creation and maintenance of a Zenodo instance
for PHENIX, but my impression was not that it was a firm decision and
work and resources have been allocated.

Since at BNL is is a custom installation of Zenodo or actually a port of
the system as opposed to installation this leaves some questions about
future migration to the Invenio RDM backend and future of the UI/skin
which is currently a custom fork of the code. I'll discuss this offline
with Carlos and others, just want to register that (unless I'm very 
mistaken)
a PHENIX instance at BNL is not a firm decision and it's not clear
whether it's optimal.

Thank you,
Maxim
