Early adopters play a very important role in the creation of communities by setting examples and telling stories. I showed some simple tools for identifying early adopters of organizational identifiers in DataCite metadata. Results are here: https://www.tedhabermann.com/blog/2020/3/5/early-adopters-of-organizational-identifiers. Congratulations to these leaders!
Nice, thanks for sharing @tedhabermann! It would be interesting to do this across multiple initiatives - I have a feeling we’d see many of the same organizations come up time and again 
I’m working on a post about building online communities for The Scholarly Kitchen - would you be ok with me referring to this (with credit of course!)?
Thanks again!
