Been there, done that :)
Yes, the topic of a demo CD which would run Linux off the CD itself
did come up. However, our primary aim is to get Linux into the
school, and it was felt that a CD given to the teachers/students to
run would probably end up gathering dust in a drawer. However, let's
discuss this further at the meeting on Sunday -- be there!
