 That's great, if its possible and everything goes well with the project I would love  to take part in DebConf13, so I will add it in my application.

Hello Paul, that's also a great idea. I will be at CERN until the 30th of April (after that date my contract expires), until then I can go and talk with the "Visit Service" and ask details about the procedure needed(requests, booking, finding a guide etc) to come and visit CERN. For sure they will need to know the dates of the visit and approximately  the number of people visiting, especially if the visit includes going underground to the any of the experiments (ATLAS, CMS etc) now that the collider is offline

Also I think it would be a nice idea if the visit includes(except the classic staff) a more detailed talk about the software technologies used at CERN and exchange ideas since the people of the DebConf are developers. In that case I will need to talk with the IT department to find a guide more experienced in the software part.

In any case you can open a new thread in this mailing list(or anywhere you think is more preferable) about the visit, provide me some basic info (dates, number of visitors) and I will contact in person the visit service and discuss with them how you can organize the visit.

Kind regards
