<li>Spend some time testing my <code>post_bitstreams.py</code> script to update thumbnails for items on CGSpace
<ul>
<li>Interestingly I found an item with a JFIF thumbnail and another with a WebP thumbnail…</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Meeting with Valentina, Stefano, and Sara about MODS metadata in CGSpace
<ul>
<li>They have experience with improving the MODS interface in MELSpace’s OAI-PMH for use with AGRIS and were curious if we could do the same in CGSpace</li>
<li>From what I can see we need to upgrade the MODS schema from 3.1 to 3.7 and then just add a bunch of our fields to the crosswalk</li>
</ul>

<li>Alliance’s TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
<ul>
<li>It seems their password expired, which is annoying</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I continued looking at the CGSpace subjects for the FAO / AGROVOC exercise that I started last week
<ul>
<li>There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a “-” like “high yielding varieties” or used singular…</li>
<li>Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example “decison support systems”, which would match if it was spelled correctly</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace</li>
</ul>

<li>Remove <code>cg.subject.wle</code> and <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code> from CGSpace input form after confirming with IWMI colleagues that they no longer need them (WLE closed in 2021)</li>
<li><ahref="https://salsa.debian.org/iso-codes-team/iso-codes/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#4130-2023-02-28">iso-codes 4.13.0 was released</a>, which incorporates my changes to the common names for Iran, Laos, and Syria</li>
<li>I finally got through with porting the input form from DSpace 6 to DSpace 7</li>
</ul>

<li>I exported the CCAFS and IITA communities, extracted just the country and region columns, then ran them through csv-metadata-quality to fix the regions</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add a few more authors to my CSV with author names and ORCID identifiers and tag 283 items!</li>
<li>Replace “East Asia” with “Eastern Asia” region on CGSpace (UN M.49 region)</li>
</ul>

<li>Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I also updated all my local <code>7_x-dev</code> branches on the latest upstreams</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
<ul>
<li>I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can’t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue</li>
</ul>

<li>Yesterday I realized how to use <ahref="https://im4java.sourceforge.net/docs/dev-guide.html">GraphicsMagick with im4java</a> and I want to re-visit some of my thumbnail tests
<ul>
<li>I’m also interested in libvips support via jVips, though last time I checked it was only for Java 8</li>
<li>I filed <ahref="https://github.com/criteo/JVips/issues/141">an issue to ask about Java 11+ support</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
