    + seeking for a new person as a replacement for Bjoern, who is currently
      inactive

* Jenkins / CI update (Christian)

      + Cloph restored 3 of them, so not yet ideal

     + will try a different solution at some stage
   + do we do API CHANGE in commit messages for configuration changes?
     + not .xcu file, but it’s in the user profile
   + probably doesn’t hurt (Stephan, Michael S)
