Miki:
* Let's schedule a [StructureData](https://github.com/mikibonacci/aiida-atomistic) demo to gather more feedback: 16 or 17 of Sept is fine?

Edan
* Nothing to report on AiiDA front

Julian
* EuroSciPy tutorial on aiida-shell and WorkGraph with Alex & Ali
* Went well overall
* Would have wished for more participants though, whole conference was kinda empty
* Used NanoHUB for people to run the notebooks, but I feel like too high startup cost, e.g. create account; could have just gone with Google Colab
[XW] Google Colab also supports GUI of WorkGraph
* Apart from that, nothing to report on AiiDA front, will focus now on SwissTwins W&C tasks

Xing

* EuroScipy: together with Marnik, we gave a talk on AiiDA.
* Consider to support submiting Calcfunction. For calcfunction defined in a script, jupyter-notebook, we can using pickle.
* [gp] Are we sure that submitting will make it not blocking? The daemon worker would still block
* Same idea: submit WorkChain defined in a script, jupyter-notebook.
* [GP] did you check submitting WorkGraph from WorkChain? Is it blocking?
* [XW] It will not block, because the WorkGrah is submitted.
* [JG] [Link to WorkGraph docs "Calling WorkGraph inside WorkChain"](https://aiida-workgraph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/workchain_call_workgraph.html)
* See this [issue](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6561)

Kristjan:

* Demo page: https://aiidateam.github.io/aiida-explorer/
* Final submission report: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-explorer/tree/gsoc/gsoc
* Still a lot of issues and bugs, but a base we can build and iterate on
* unused aiida(lab)-related domains, do we want to keep?
