Hi Michael and Andreas,

Thank you for the heads-up. Excellent presentation. I'm sure I will refer back 
to your list of HPC centres running Debian in the future.

I agree that the lack of a go-to company for support causes some difficulty for 
Debian in the HPC space. It makes things tricky as compared to dealing with 
Canonical, Red Hat, etc. Perhaps a system integrator like HPE could over take 
that role, but I assume they would have done so already if they wanted to.

On a related note, I find the Ubuntu Certified Hardware program quite 
interesting [1]. A formal certification program for Debian could help both with 
the user concerns about compatibility and with acquiring hardware for quality 
assurance. The feasibility of such a program is an open question.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
