 - Also, Udana wants me to add "Enhancing Sustainability Across Agricultural Systems" to the WLE Phase II research themes so I created a ticket to track that ([#382](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/382)
 - I need to try to finish this DSpace 5.8 business first because I have too many branches with cherry-picks going on right now!

+- CCAFS want me to add "PII-FP2_MSCCCAFS" to their Phase II project tags on CGSpace ([#383](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/383)
+- I'll do it in a batch with all the other metadata updates next week

+- I was tempted to do the Linode instance upgrade on CGSpace (linode18), but after looking closely at the system backups I noticed that Solr isn't being backed up to S3
+- I apparently noticed this—and fixed it!—in [2016-07]({{< relref "2016-07.md" >}}), but it doesn't look like the backup has been updated since then!
+- It looks like I added Solr to the `backup_to_s3.sh` script, but that script is not even being used (`s3cmd` is run directly from root's crontab)
+- For now I have just initiated a manual S3 backup of the Solr data:
+
+```
+# s3cmd sync --delete-removed /home/backup/solr/ s3://cgspace.cgiar.org/solr/
+```
+
+- But I need to add this to cron!
+- I wonder if I should convert some of the cron jobs to systemd services / timers...
+- I sent a note to all our users on Yammer to ask them about possible maintenance on Sunday, July 14th
