Main achievement: empty the queue of pending merge requests
1) PR1089: DDG4HepMC3: add optional support for reading compressed files
2) PR1125, ISSUE1090: CellID is long long int in DD4hep, but uint64_t in EDM4hep
    accepted: standardize on uint64_t.
    ===> Investigation has started. Not obvious consequences: also internally confusion inside DD4hep
3) PR1108, PR1113, PR1112, PR1113, PR1124, PR1128 + ISSUE1110
    Various podio/edm4hep issues. 
    Move to podio frame based writing
    Support for event/run parameters saving
4) PR1126: Simplify for users to set the world material
5) PR1129: Exit ddsim with arg: --dumpParameter/dumpSteeringFile
 

3) Round table
