### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*

Sebastiaan:
* **Open PRs**:
* [Add the `SshFabricTransport` plugin](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6154): Did anyone get the chance to try it out?
* [Dependencies: Update to `sqlalchemy~=2.0`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6146): I am merging this soon.
* [Add `verdi profile setup`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6023): Idem, anyone want to have a look still?
* [xw] I will look at it in next few days.
* [Dependencies: Add support for Python 3.12](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6161): Almost working, but waiting for releases upstream. [`pytest-notebook`](https://github.com/chrisjsewell/pytest-notebook/pulls) most notably, maintained by Chris.
* [CLI: Keep list unique in verdi config set --append](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6162): Trivial fix. Unless anyone wants to have a look, I am merging today
* [CLI: Fix verdi config set when setting list option](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6166): Trivial fix. Unless anyone wants to have a look, I am merging today
* [Tests: Remove deprecated `aiida/manage/tests/main` module and move system tests](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6163)
* Miscellaneous
* Almost done with blog post.

Jason:
* Finalize the release of aiidalab-qe v23.10.0. Licence etc.
* Presented AiiDA and Materials Cloud on Huawei workshop.
* Encounter (again) the issue that the waiting/running processes in the list not being picked up by the daemon. Not help after I reboot the machine etc. The `verdi devel rabbitmq tasks analyze` shows everything is fine. Issue https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6137
* Blog post: will convert ["Building Docker Image with Pre-configured AiiDA Computer?"](https://aiida.discourse.group/t/building-docker-image-with-pre-configured-aiida-computer/132/3) to the blog post on the use cases and tutorial on using aiida-core docker images.

Edan:
* Will try to address early next week:
* `sqlalchmet~=2.0` review - Monday!
* `SshFabricTransport` test
* `verdi storage backup` test
* Blog (experimental workflows, calculation monitoring)
* aiida-quantumespresso parser compatability
* From 10-05 meeting: was this ever resolved?
* I'll check with Giovanni
* `verdi node graph generate`
* Additional controls might be nice for users
* Ex. I tried generating a graph with ``-e neat` - terrible
* A bit more control on the layout might help
* I can check this, unless there are reservations against added features
* Jason mentioned some refactoring here would be nice
* I'll open an issue and describe the problem
* Changes to be done in the python API, not the CLI wrapper!

Xing:
* Working on the [summary](https://hackmd.io/@superstar54/BkLz5ZrGa) of [`AiiDA-WorkTree`](https://github.com/superstar54/aiida-worktree)
* pros and cons
* when to use `WorkTree` and `WorkChain`
* several examples
* list the names (e.g. `Tree`, `node`, `link`) to be discussed

* Will work on: Giovanni asked me to write a summary on the database backend options.

Kristjan:
* backups:
* dos functionality done: https://github.com/aiidateam/disk-objectstore/pull/161
* adding tests (goal to get 100%)
* aiida-core adapted to use dos utilities: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6069
* testing: probably makes sense to wait until DOS pr is merged and released
* aiida-optimade:
* drop py 3.8 support: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-optimade/pull/500
