Jerome, This is excellent news !
Grenoble is a place where Debian has a strong presence. I am a professor at the Université Joseph Fourier in applied mathematics and Debian is both used in research and teaching. I am a strong advocate of Debian there but not the only. Once you've tested its power and especially in scientific computing, it is very hard to use something else. Know also that the mesocentre CIMENT (for high performance computing [1]) in Grenoble uses also mainly Debian ! I would be glad to send information to colleagues in Grenoble regarding this workshop and perhaps attend myself. 1. http://ciment.ujf-grenoble.fr/ Best regards C.
