It seems to me that applications and demo are the most interesting part. A couple of interesting applications you could show: - FBReader for e-books (get free (legal) ebooks from http://www.baen.com/library/) - Maemo Mapper (optionally with a bluetooth GPS, which of course won't work indoors) > This has to be about an hour in length and there is a range of backgrounds > attending. Though most of them are hard core geeks. ;-) Hard core geeks you say? How about showing an SSH server on the device, or demoing the mounting of NFS shares. Or how vim works with the on-screen keyboard in an xterm. Or how to repackage a debian package from the Debian ARM port so that it is installable with the Application Installer.
