STATUS ), puts the page online, and prepares a template for the corresponding Confluence pages (to include some more detailed information about the status of the features (whether in the release or not; "maturity level"; etc)).
• Christian Wulf (Unlicensed) asks Gunnar Dietrich (Markov model extraction) if he wants to present in the next meeting 2016-07-06
• Christian Wulf (Unlicensed) schedules a meeting (outside the regular call) on Sören Henning: Migration of Kieker Trace Analysis
