### Specific Agenda Items

**Merge New Repository**
 * Is there anything that needs to be taken care of before we go on to merge this and "freeze" the AiiDA release?
     * Milestone has some outstanding issues but we think nothing of this seems critical to do before the "freeze".
 * Set date for coding days after the merge to deal with any rising issue. Proposed timeline (to get past the MARVEL review on 19(-20).04.2021):
     * **Apr23:** Send email to mailing list.
     * **Apr26:** Merge the PR.
     * **Apr29 - Apr30:** Coding days (Fransisco to send Doodle poll)


**AiiDA Tutorial 2021**
 * **TIMELINE:**
     * **Apr19 - May14:** open inscriptions.
         * **Apr19:** send advertising.
         * **May03:** send advertising (reminder).
     * **May28/May31:** confirm inscriptions.
     * **MayXX**: Tutorial prep (set 2/3 days for preparation).
     * **Jun14:** release schedule.
     * **Jun28:** release material.
     * **Jul05 - Jul09:** Tutorial days (Mon-Tue, Wed off, Thu-Fri).
 * **CRITICAL DATES:** Jul05 - Jul09 and a couple of days on May.


**Quantum ESPRESSO school - AiiDA tutorial**
 * Provisionally on 26th of May (morning).
 * ~100 participants expected.
 * I will give talk on AiiDA to kick things off.
 * Then 1-2 handson sessions. Would simply reuse ABC tutorial material, since it fits perfectly. Help from Francisco/Chris/Giovanni. Should be enough?
 * They seemed happy that we could run tutorial in cloud, so we'll use AiiDAlab cluster.
