+- I remembered an old technique I was using to generate thumbnails in 2015 using Inkscape followed by ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick:
+
+```
+$ inkscape Food\ safety\ Kenya\ fruits.pdf -z --export-dpi=72 --export-area-drawing --export-png='cover.png'
+$ gm convert -resize x600 -flatten -quality 85 cover.png cover.jpg

+- I've tried a few times this week to register for the [Ethiopian eVisa website](https://www.evisa.gov.et/), but it is never successful
+- In the end I tried one last time to just apply without registering and it was apparently successful
+- Testing DSpace 5.8 (`5_x-prod` branch) in an Ubuntu 18.04 VM with Tomcat 8.5 and had some issues:
+  - JSPUI shows an internal error (log shows something about tag cloud, though, so might be unrelated)
+  - Atmire Listings and Reports, which use JSPUI, asks you to log in again and then doesn't work
+  - Content and Usage Analysis doesn't show up in the sidebar after logging in
+  - I can navigate to [/atmire/reporting-suite/usage-graph-editor](https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/atmire/reporting-suite/usage-graph-editor), but it's only the Atmire theme and a "page not found" message
