* Jason:
    * Me and Xing meeting people from paratera and Sun Qiang on Tuesday.
        * Qiang still need to use AiiDAlab for his experiments.
        * We can assistant people from paratera to deploy the AiiDAlab using the new approach. (We may also benifit from it to test deployment on Cloud resources rather than Azure.)
        * Paratera has platform for online Seminar, they ask me and Qiang to give a 50 min talk about AiiDAlab. 
        * It can be a good way to get AiiDAlab expose to Chinese potential users.
    * Add [slim image](https://github.com/aiidalab/aiidalab-docker-stack/pull/319) for "AiiDA only" tasks to aiidalab-docker-stack.
        * The system user can be changed to `aiida` not just the `jovyan` from jupyter image.
        * More slim (741MB v.s 1.9 GB)
        * Can be replacement of [`aiida-prerequisites`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-prerequisites). (Push to also `aiidateam` dockerhub)
    * Potential issue if AWB version not bind to stack. The old docker stack has [aiidalab-widget-base version pinned in `requirements.txt`](https://github.com/aiidalab/aiidalab-docker-stack/blob/dff88d30a86e7f8182ac0390390407441f06c813/Dockerfile#L98). In new base image, it is not constaints anymore but as a general used widget package it required by different apps which might cause issue if user or app install the wrong AWB version and break the dependencies of other apps.
    * Is Sasha the only people manage the email of aiidalab@materialscloud.org? I think may be also Xing should access to it?


* Xing:
    * The README of each repository in the AiIDAlab GitHub organization should feature up-to-date:
        - [ ] Title
        - [ ] Motivation / Context
        - [ ] Installation / Usage instructions
        - [ ] Primary maintainer
        - [ ] How to contribute
        - [ ] How to run tests
        - [ ] License
        - [ ] Acknowledgements

* Giovanni:

  * Application to Fenix for 2023: Carlo will coordinate, deadline Nov 7th?
  * We need to have a more high-level discussion on how much we want to have AiiDAlab be used directly by experimentalists
  * QE App: current status, 2.0 support, number of bands, ...


* Dou:

  * A PR to allow custom colors for all bandstructure (parameters: bands_color)
      * https://github.com/osscar-org/widget-bandsplot/pull/37

  * Both bandstructure and DOS datas are aligned to Fermi level
      * Should we also user to input or modify Fermi levels?

  * Add Junfeng and Carlo for the discussion of the user cases (suggested by Giovanni)
