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)

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.
