Marnik:
* Nothing much to report! Just working on a blog post on high-throughput setups for tomorrow.
* [XW] is there any docs on `high-throughput setups` in the documentation page?

Ali:
* Trying to merge [Transport & Engine: AsyncTransport plugin](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6626) :'(

Alex:
Nothing to report

Xing:

- aiida-quantumespresso, any plan for this PR [PwBaseWorkChain: Always do full restart for ERROR_OUT_OF_WALLTIME](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-quantumespresso/pull/1012)

Edan:
- aiida-pseudo release? Affecting AiiDAlab QE docker build
- aiida-core issues
- [process_state can be None when we attempt to probe it](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6682)
- Simple fix, just add a guard. Will PR when time permits.
- [QueryBuilder can't find codes when looking for AbstractCode](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6687)
- This failure was leading to multiple codes of the same full label
- See [aiidalab-qe issue](https://github.com/aiidalab/aiidalab-qe/issues/962)
- See [discussion in related PR](https://github.com/aiidalab/aiidalab-widgets-base/pull/661)
- Fixed by replacing AbstractCode with the deprecated Code
- Comes down to the entry point (I think)

Jason:
- NumFOCUS affiliation contact, who want to be the backup contact people, get the email and to send the update?
- [plumpy #297: kiwipy/rmq related modules into independent module](https://github.com/aiidateam/plumpy/pull/297) it goes with https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6675 can have an abstraction for how different broker can be implemented.
- [aiida-core #6668](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6668) using updated message protocol from plumpy to construct the message passing through rabbitmq. It can potentially solve broker connection close issue in https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6673
- [aiida-core #6686](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6686) the interface design for the transport discussion.
- The workaround for the broker connection close issue can have a workaround in aiormq by https://github.com/mosquito/aiormq/pull/208 but might be not the real cause of our problem.

Kristjan

- k8s meeting
- CSCS confirmed 2 people for 20-21 january in Zurich.
- current topics:
- aiidalab deployment finalization - Sasha
- Materials Cloud archive deployment ideas/discussion - Valeria
- AiiDA webserver prototype deployment - Kristjan
- General brainstorming/prototyping for the rest of Materials Cloud - Kristjan
- Probably no "general teaching" of k8s, so it makes sense for people to come who directly want to contribute to one of these topics.
