@schlunma: how can we support variable derivation for ERA5 in the fix? ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#1806
@valeriupredoi: development dependencies test ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#2492
@valeriupredoi: PRs that need ESMValCore a long time before release cycle ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#3697
@valeriupredoi: ESMValTool ready for Python 3.12 bar prospector ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#3501
@schlunma: pin iris? ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#2500
@bouweandela: ESMValBot maintainance

Variable derivation for ERA5 in the fix (ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#1806)? -> @bouweandela will at some point look into it
@valeriupredoi: development dependencies test ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#2492 - should run only on main nightly; @valeriupredoi will open a PR fixing this in CircleCI configuration
@valeriupredoi: PRs that need ESMValCore a long time before release cycle ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#3697 - this is a fluffy topic that involves bugfix releases scheduled reguarily that, in turn, depends on the RTW (Recipe Test Workflow) that is still in prototype/pre-production, hence...
...we should have another look at the RTW PR in main ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#3210
@valeriupredoi: ESMValTool ready for Python 3.12 bar prospector ESMValGroup/ESMValTool#3501 - the only showstopper is, as we mentioned, prospector which, according to @bouweandela, and everyone else, is a bit dead; @valeriupredoi will start the integration process of Ruff into Codacy (since we really want Codacy umbrella) after holidays in September;
@schlunma: pin iris? ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#2500 - that PR is now Ready-for_Review, it is great to have two supported Iris versions (latest, one before latest) but if API changes are large, we can go with just the latest on occasion (like now)
@bouweandela: ESMValBot maintainance: the Bot needs updating (really old deps), and needs migration to the new Levante tenancy; @valeriupredoi will help with this September onwards
