Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/) can archive datasets and software, providing unique DOIs per-version as well as one DOI for all versions (e.g. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.595120). Uploading can be automated (github releases automatically triggers a new DOI). It's a nice first step for people to cite dvc.
Things to discuss:
- author list (contributors/company name/etc). If left blank, GitHub contributors are automatically used.

@casperdcl It would be great if you could elaborate on what this is about. I don't think many of us are familiar with zenodo 馃檪

Well it's nice to have a DOI for people to cite dvc, and Zenodo can issue DOIs. This I think is its main relevance for software packages.
e.g. badges: 
or a citation: "[1] iterative.ai, dvc: Data Version Control - Git for Data & Models (2019) DOI:10.5281/zenodo.012345" for people to use in papers & dependencies.
It won't require much set-up from our end.

@casperdcl it is a good idea. Several people (3?) have already asked how they can reference DVC in their papers. I was thinking about writing some paper and publish in arxiv.org but zenodo.org can be a temporary workaround.

@dmpetrov I'd recommend writing a paper after zenodo.
