I would just suggest one topic. "becoming friends with GNU/Linux based desktops". It is not just about introducing the basic apps, but me and my team have developed a padagogy of helping users to smoothly migrate and as a matter of fact remove the fear from their minds, due to obvious wrong information. Another tipic I would be interested to cover is web applications using pylons, a so-called "ruby on rails in python". it is very powerful web framework.
Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
