Giovanni: * Edan and I are doing the interviews for SwissTwins. Hoping to get people from ~Jan-Feb. * Discussing with Miki on whether to work on integrating the Euphonic package in AiiDA, as it's possibly relevant with collabotors at PSI Sebastiaan: * Announced the launch of the Discourse server. We should encourage people that still use the old channels for questions/discussions to use Discourse as much as possible. * Is anyone still interested in taking a look to migrating the old mailing list content to Discourse? Here is a link with instructions, but not sure if it still applies to current version of Discourse: https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-a-mailing-list-to-discourse-mbox-listserv-google-groups-etc/79773 * [`Config`: Switch from `jsonschema` to `pydantic`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6117): This is a lead up to [Add `verdi profile setup`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6023) that allows setting up of profiles with arbitrary storage backends. Which in turn is a lead up to the addition of the `SqliteZipArchive`, a lightweight persistent backend for demos and tutorials. * [InteractiveOption: Fix validation being skipped if ! provided](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6033): Updated after review. Addressed all comments, including nitpicks. Ready for re-review Captain Scope Creep :D * [Scheduler: Refactor interface to make it more generic](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6043): What is the status of the `aiida-firecrest` work. Has it been confirmed that the new interface is sufficient and can it be merged? * [Implement support for running `CalcJobs` on windows machines](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6042): Is this still necessary? I believe it has been solved on the plugin side in combination with the PR listed above. Miki * still working on prototype for StructureData. I will update soon the hackmd with some detail Kristjan: * Finalizing the backup script PR: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6069 * not clear how to test this Edan * Tested monitoring feature on Aurora - all is well! ### Specific Agenda Items
