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/)

Great thanks. I  never knew about this place.  I should try it out.
 

  - Maemo Mapper (optionally with a bluetooth GPS, which of course won't
    work indoors)


I have been looking to get a bluetooth gps, but I have not been able to find one yet.  Any suggestions?

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.

All great ideas. Thanks again.  I will add it in.  As well I will post my slides so everyone especially you ;-) can benefit from them.
 

Cheers,
Marius Gedminas
