I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!
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>I ran FixLowQualityThumbnails from cgspace-java-helpers on some large collections on CGSpace and ended up fixing 194 items!</li>
<li>I did some minor checking and uploaded twenty-four IFPRI outputs for the Initiatives to DSpace Test</li>
<li>Tim merged my <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8553">pull request to override the ImageMagick PDF density in DSpace 7</a>

<li>I joined the FAO–CGIAR AGROVOC results sharing meeting
<ul>
<li>From June to October, 2022 we suggested 39 new keywords, added 27 to AGROVOC, 4 rejected, and 9 still under discussion</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Doing duplicate check on IFPRI’s batch upload and I found one duplicate uploaded by IWMI earlier this year
<ul>
<li>I will update the metadata of that item and map it to the correct Initiative collection</li>

<ul>
<li>I added countries to the twenty-three IFPRI items in OpenRefine based on their titles and abstracts (using the Jython trick I learned a few months ago), then added regions using csv-metadata-quality, and uploaded them to CGSpace</li>
<li>I exported a list of collections from CGSpace so I can run the thumbnail fixes on each, as we seem to have issues when doing it on (some) large communities like the CRP community:</li>
</ul>
<divclass="highlight"><pretabindex="0"style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><codeclass="language-console"data-lang="console"><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span>localhost/dspace= ☘ \COPY (SELECT ds6_collection2collectionhandle(uuid) AS collection FROM collection) to /tmp/collections.txt
<li>Not bad, because last week I did a more manual selection of collections and deleted ~200
<ul>
<li>I will replicate this on CGSpace soon, and also try the FixJpgJpgThumbnails tool</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I see that the CIAT Library is still up, so I should really grab all the PDFs before they shut that old server down
<ul>
<li>Export a list of items with PDFs linked there:</li>

<li>I decided to check for old pre-ImageMagick thumbnails on CGSpace by finding any bitstreams with the description “Generated Thumbnail”:</li>

<li>A bunch of these have <code>\N</code> for some reason when I use the <code>ds6_bitstream2itemhandle</code> function to get their handles so I had to exclude those…
<ul>
<li>I forced the media-filter for these items on CGSpace:</li>
<li>Upload some batch records via CSV for Peter</li>
<li>Update the about page on CGSpace with new text from Peter</li>
<li>Add a few more ORCID identifiers and names to my growing file <code>2022-09-22-add-orcids.csv</code>
<ul>
<li>I tagged fifty-four new authors using this list</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I deleted and mapped one duplicate item for Maria Garruccio</li>
<li>I updated the CG Core website from Bootstrap v4.6 to v5.2</li>

<li>Port the <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8550">ImageMagick PDF cropbox fix</a> to DSpace 6.x
<ul>
<li>I deployed it on CGSpace, ran all updates, and rebooted the host</li>

<li>Work on the CIAT Library items a bit again in OpenRefine
<ul>
<li>I flagged items with:
<ul>
<li>URL containing “#page” at the end (these are linking to book chapters, but we don’t want to upload the PDF multiple times)</li>
<li>Same URL used by more than one item (“Duplicates” facet in OpenRefine, these are some corner case I don’t want to handle right now)</li>
<li>URL containing “:8080” to CIAT’s old DSpace (this server is no longer live)</li>

<li>I want to try to handle the simple cases that should cover most of the items first</li>

<li>Continue working on the Python script to upload PDFs from CIAT Library to the relevant item on CGSpace
<li>Meeting with Marie-Angelique, Sara, and Valentina about CG Core types
<ul>
<li>We agreed to continue adding the feedback for each of the proposed actions</li>
<li>The others will start filling in definitions for the types</li>
<li>Sara had some good questions about duplicates on CGSpace and how we can possibly prevent them now that several systems are submitting items directly into the repository
<ul>
<li>We need to be careful especially with regards to author’s outputs that will be reported in the PRMS</li>

<li>Maria asked if we can extend the timeout for XMLUI sessions
<ul>
<li>According to <ahref="https://gitlab.inf.unibz.it/commul/docker/clarin-dspace/-/issues/44">this issue</a> it seems to be 30 minutes by default, as a Tomcat default</li>
<li>I think we could extend this to an hour, as there is no real security risk (we’re not a bank) and most user’s lock screens would have activated after ten minutes or so anyways</li>
<li>The ebook one looks really good and is only 2.4MB…</li>
<li>But for reference, this free Adobe tool seems to work: <ahref="https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html">https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html</a></li>
