### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*

Jason:
 * Finalizing hq scheduler for demo server. Once that one merged, we can have the next test. (@Daniel, are you going to keep going with the refactoring pseudo and code setup? I need to rebase quite a bit when these files are moved/changed.)
 * Testing on solara on SSSP app as well, but Edan did better on understand solara widgets component design. 
 * Nothing more related to AiiDAlab side.

Edan:
 * Finalizing widgets for demo server documentation/tutorial
 * Testing out Solara (SSSP app, QB app)
 * Also writing SSSP app in React - will test AnyWidget path to exposing MC components to AiiDAlab and possible future AiiDA apps


Daniel:
 * Fixing bugs in `aiidalab` package (blocking release of new image). Want to publish new version this week, only one outstanding PR waiting 
for review.
 * One the `aiidalab` package is updated, release new latest image with AiiDA 2.6. Help with testing needed!
 * Working towards upgrading image to Python 3.11 and integrating AWB into the image. Everything is basically ready (need to release AWB 2.3.0), will need lots of testing.
 * Need to discuss managing core dependencies in the image to prevent container crashes  such as https://github.com/aiidalab/aiidalab-docker-stack/issues/494


Miki

 * Nothing to report on AiiDAlab or aiidalab-qe (I was on holidays)

Sasha:
 *  Deployed AiiDAlab demo server
     *  [GP] Comment: having a server in the US brings the ping time from ~4-9ms (northern CH) to 100-150ms (~1/8s, noticeable), especially noting (comment by DH) that every click on a button etc has to go to the server and back. Plan: let's not redeploy for now and keep in the US (a bit cheaper), but keep this in mind (e.g. when Giovanni and Carlo try it out). If needed, we redeploy in EU or CH (Sasha in that case will check what is more cost effective)
