[NEST Users] Open NEST Developer Video Conference Monday 1 March 2021 11:30 CET (UTC+1)

Dear NEST Users & Developers! I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference, today Monday 1 March, 11.30-12.30 CET (UTC+1). As usual, in the Project team round, a contact person of each team will give a short statement summarizing ongoing work in the team and cross-cutting points that need discussion among the teams. The remainder of the meeting we would go into a more in-depth discussion of topics that came up on the mailing list or that are suggested by the teams. Today this would for example be a discussion about changing the minimum required Python version. Agenda     Welcome     Review of NEST User Mailing List     Project team round     In-depth discussion         Raise minimal Python version required: hike to 3.7 or 3.8 (see #1932 <https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/pull/1932#issuecomment-782710952>)?
