### Present

* Giovanni
* Xing
* Kristjan
* Jason
* Francisco
* Sebastiaan


### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*

Sebastiaan:
 * [**External PR**: make it compatible with the latest version of PBSPro](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5910): Proposes to change the `PbsProScheduler` plugin to use the `ncpus` notation in favor of `ppn`. Documentation is not super clear, but it seems latter was deprecated in v13 (released over 5 years ago) but was kept around for compatibility, until recently (at the very least v20 no longer supports it). What is the change someone is still using old versions of PbsPro? Shall we accept this change? Seems ok to me, user with old version of PbsPro could always subclass if necessary.
 * [**External PR**: Remove `--raw` option in `verdi code list` for `--output-format`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/5909): Proposed implementation of [#5764](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/5764). Issue opened by Leopold suggesting to add a generic option `--output-format` that can instruct to format output in say, JSON, YAML, or some other standard structured output.


Xing:
* add merlin6 (cpu and gpu) from PSI and QE code (pw, dos, projwfc, pp) to aiida-code-registry

Kristjan
* progress on https://mc3d.materialscloud.org/

Francisco
* Moved issues to [new roadmap repo](https://github.com/aiidateam/team-compass/issues), fleshed out, and closed in old roadmap.

Giovanni:
* Should we discuss a coding week?
    * Possible dates for Doodle:
        * 10-14 July
        * 4-8 Sep (note: just before MARVEL retreat)
        * 25-29 Sep
        * 2-6 Oct
* Status of the roadmap/compass?
* Jason+Xing: write roadmap for REST API of AiiDA (dropping old one, support only the new aiida-restapi, support running AiiDA-QE workflows, test the AiiDA-QE via aiida-restapi to see which features are missing (e.g. live streaming of the remote files). Then set a meeting (in April) with Seb and Kristjan (for the use or the new REST-API on MC Explore when reimplemented in React))

Jason:
 * Update the issues on team-compass. 
 * Nothing more specific to aiida-core.
