A meeting will be set for discussing the teaching week before the main user meeting and the next PCSC meeting.

7. other business

Currently some autotests are broken on Travis-CI.
Autotests may disagree between different machines or compiler versions.
The question remains, which autotest is finally authoritative.
This problem basically hinders to introduce strict testing before any commits.
