[TOC]
### Catch-up round
*Max. 3 minutes each*
Sasha
* Contacted CSCS to discuss their k8s cluster
* They will most probably be able to join Eiger nodes to the cluster. The price will remain [as usual](https://2go.cscs.ch/offering/swiss_academia/institutional_customers/).
* The price for the **existence** of k8s cluster will be fixed, a bit too high, so we need to re-discuss with them.
* Deployed AiiDAlab@CSCS-k8s, but there seems to be a problem with firewall, opened a ticket on jira.cscs.ch.
* They said they might have issues connecting between nodes when running on Eiger nodes, but we do not have that problem because pods do not talk to each other.

### AiiDAlab QEApp manuscript
Peter will add one paragraph, and a nice figure on the XAS part.
[XW] I will work on the manuscirpt from the second week of August.
