Marnik:
 * Converted two Road Map items into issue on corresponding repo:
     * [Usability: Running multiple AiiDA jobs as a single scheduler.](https://github.com/aiidateam/team-compass/issues/2)
     * [Usability: Controlling process submission](https://github.com/aiidateam/team-compass/issues/3)


Sebastiaan:
* **Critical bug**: [Processes except after restarting daemon](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/5882). Introduced in v2.2.0. Have a fix in [PR #5886](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5886). I want to release this is in a patch a.s.a.p as the latest releases are badly broken due to this bug.
* **PR**: [Fixtures: Add argument use_subprocess to run_cli_command](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5846): This is an important fix to the CLI tests. A bug was introduced in v2.1 that snuck by the tests. The `run_cli_command` fixture is now updated to catch the in the future. Lot of changes, but happy to meet with a reviewer in person to go through it.
* **PR**: [Add support for docker](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5841). Already reviewed by Yusong. Should be backwards compatible. Anyone still want to have a look at design choices before we merge this?
* Updated `aiida-abinit` to be installable. It had a strict version requirement of dependency. Trying to upgrade it to be compatible with `aiida-core==2.0` but dependency `abipy` is blocking. Opened an issue but seems not very active. 
* What is the status of other plugin packages and 2.0 compatiblity?



Xing:
* reviewed the PR (Feature/get xspectra structures, https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-quantumespresso/pull/878)
* One question. What environment are you using for developing aiida and aiidalab? I am using docker container (my own image based on aiidalab-docker-stack, I installed some dev tools, e.g. gh, mlocate). Now I need to expose a port (5000) for aiida-restapi test, however, this is not supported by aiidalab-launch. I think we need a aiida docker image for developer.


Jason:
 * Do we have new mailing list? 
 * The three GSoc projects are fixed and the application submitted. (https://github.com/numfocus/gsoc)
 * Add computer/code config template to roadmap (https://github.com/aiidateam/team-compass/issues/4)


Giovanni:
- SwissTwins update
- Sasha checked the CSCS's MFA and AiiDA will just pause when the SSH key expires - this is good
- roadmap: let's migrate quickly to the new one -> meeting set on 23rd morning
- AiiDA tutorial -> link to Quantum Mobile still missing
