How about the facility to buy cheap copies of Linux? It would surely help to promote it and get more users to try it and adopt it.
Also resources, training facilities, and corporate demand for linux skills can be included

Also add the following points:-
1> compare GNU/Linux Movement to Science where access to research documents(here source
code)
is important for exchange of ideas. Also as in science peer review matters a lot. Exchanges of
ideas
leads to better and secure software.
2> Also we can talk about cost as it is an consideration for all (students as well as
government)
Also we can talk about the german and the
venezualan governments who have used free s/w to their advantages
3> also corporate successes may be talked about
without
the doc looking like having a bias towards anyone vendor (even Redhat for that matter).
Also i believe sameer' points#4 and #5 have to be emphasised
From: "Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe"
Points I can think of:
- An abstract on Nag's paper about "Why free
software matters"
- The fact that a GNU/Linux user is a member of an
entire community
- Examples of academic research projects that are
done on GNU/Linux
because of the freedom that they afford. 4. Importance of involving students in a
community-wide effort and
making real contributions instead of just arbit
project ideas.
- Instances like the IndLinux where a handful of
people have managed to
do something that can bring computing to
millions in India.
Sameer.
