Have you read this?
http://usefulinc.com/edd/blog/contents/2003/12/19-oscon/read

That page is Edd Dumbill's idea of things he thinks may be appropriate.

If you want to give a general style of tutorial about what bits make up
GNOME and how they fit together, please feel free to reuse (either
verbatim or in modified format) the slides I made for linux.conf.au
(http://www.gnome.org/~malcolm/lca-2004). The slides as they are on that
site comfortably filled a two and a half hour tutorial, which included
about twenty minutes of demonstrations of various things and a lot of
ongoing questions.

Somewhat related, I have been promised a write-up from the guys who did
the GNOME booth at Solutions Linux last week. Hopefully we can collect
together a few things like that to help ease the process of having
booths at conferences (although I realise you have done this sort of
thing before, Sri. My comment is more in the way of a general thing).

My main observation is that that is a very long conference. Will you be
in attendance for the entire five months? :-)
