The French assembly have used Ubuntu for at least two years now, and
the Gendarmerie are (or have ) migrated all of their 70,000 PCs to Ubuntu.

I recently did a Linux Awareness talk for a local computer club. I based
the talk around these points:
What is Linux and Open Source?
What do you get?
What are the advantages?
What are the disadvantages? (You need to be honest).
And because linux take up is poor in the UK I did a round up of who uses
linux around the world to show that it isn't a niche Geek way of
working.
Also students are very keen on Fairtrade so push the FOSS =
Fairtrade/Ethical Computing as well.
