Introduction

Welcome Lukas! Working with Jonas and supported by EP R&D funding.

PoW is looking good, wrapping up for the last quarterly report of the year.

Shift handover

Nothing major to report

Meetings

There was a LIM meeting today. Discussed CMake issue found in latest version. ATLAS didn't see it when building ROOT, but probably that's because they don't use builtins.

Generating a stream of blog posts

Proposal by Stephan: once a month in one of the ROOT meetings find a topic for a blog post and write them there, so that the web page looks alive.

As a first kickstart, Stephan will write a short blog post about CHEP.
