### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*

Marnik:
 * **Open PRs**:
     * `Node`: Validate nested attribute and extra keys [[#5971](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5971)].
 * **New issues**:
     * Importing ``.xyz` structure with ase does not respect pbc [[#5967](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/5967)].
     * Changing nested content of Dict nodes does not raise [[#5970](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/5970)].
 * Revived [`aiida-project`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-project)!
 * Picked up [`aiida-submission-controller`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-submission-controller)

Sebastiaan
* [Released v2.3.0](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/releases/tag/v2.3.0)
    * Do we still add entries to the website? Do we really need a PR to the `aiida-website` repo? https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-website

Jason:
 * Give it a shot to have `aiida-integration-tests` for reproduce "maximum recursion" issue https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/4876#issuecomment-1516057072
 * plumpy dynamic port isuse report by Daniel https://github.com/aiidateam/plumpy/issues/267. (Why the heck should setting a valid type automatically make the namespace dynamic?? This behaviour is clearly overridden in the Process class in aiida-core, so why is it there in the first place?)

Xing:
* Tested AiiDA 2.3 branch inside AiiDAlab, no issue found.
* Use AiiDA REST API inside AiiDAlab, propose some enhancement for the API. https://hackmd.io/@superstar54/BygaUFRG3, to schedule a meeting with Sebastiaan and Giovanni.

Giovanni:
 * ACWF paper is close to wrapping up and submitting. We need to plan next paper/work (bands, PDOS, phonons); please contact me if you want/plan to contribute and tell me how and how much time you can dedicate to it. (There is also some work to do on 1. migration to 2.x and 2. extension of the common workflows to e.g. allow more general overrides to be used e.g. to set the functional etc. - some preliminary discussion had some time ago among me, Sebastiaan, Emanuele)
 * mkite presentation next week
 * Focus on usability and documentation of existing features that are not easy to find from main docs/tutorial (this should become a priority?)
 * Setup next meeting to discuss redesign of schedulers + firecrest demo
 * Did work progress on reproducing the infinite recursion error?
 * "aiida-blog": [single content hidden in a nested file in a branch](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-blog/blob/exploredb/source/stories/browse_discover.rst). Shall we put it in a more visible place? Website, or maybe docs? Maybe Edan could do it as a task (also udpating to AiiDA 2.x)?

### Specific Agenda Items

* AiiDA coding week: Summer seems very busy, maybe move to later?
