# AiiDA core coding days 24-25 June 2025 ###### tags: `event` Present: * Julian * Edan * Alex ### Preparation for brainstorm meeting and priorities * Alex: What is the structure of the brainstorm event? We cannot just randomly discuss ideas. * It seems to me that there are smaller features and larger proposals (aiida gui, aiida-explorer) Do we present each existing proposal shortly and then go into depth with them? Does each proposal has a strict amount of time with cutting of so every proposal has the chance to be discussed fairly? -> Yeah, we should prepare a plan for this * What is the goal from discussing the proposal? Do we discuss feasability and set a timeline for these projects with clear milestones, deadlines and responsibilities or do we just discuss the ideas? -> I think the former would be ideal, but we likely only will reach the latter * Do we present for the larger proposals technical requirements required changes in modules? If not then when do we discuss these things? -> Good idea ## (Code) topics to work on (let's hope possible) Please check project [aiida-core v2.7.1](https://github.com/orgs/aiidateam/projects/19) and [aiida-core v2.8.0](https://github.com/orgs/aiidateam/projects/18) to see open issues or add the ones you want to work on Julian * Interactively ask for jinja-style template fields in Computer/Code setup (and remove `metadata` section), such that config files from the `aiida-resource-registry` can also be used in AiiDA core * I have a working version [here](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6918), but it required using a new flag `--template`, rather than the existing `--config`, as with `--config`, the interactivity of the fields is ignored. Will investigate * Blog post scheduled for Fri, I will be on holidays Thu and Fri. Anybody has an idea for a story? Alex Finish up release - Conda release 2.6.4 still missing - Release 2.7.0 on pypi and conda - With 2.7.0 release, do we need to release new version of [hyperqueue](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-hyperqueue)? Edan - [Migrate `Transport` to use pydantic for configuration](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6198) - Passing - There is only one comment regarding changes to the CLI - Short-term (during coding days) - remove CLI changes - Long-term - discuss if the CLI should use pydantic models
