The one that comes immediately to my mind is the installing Fedora in
the USB drive. Thats one thing that has caught the attention so i feel
that could be included. A demo of the same could also be included and
if people are interested you could kind of organize an install-fest .
Apart from the normal desktop/notebook installs, the USB installs
could make it more interesting.

The second point is about how to contribute to Fedora i.e something on
the contribution front could be spoken about. I am very sure there are
not so many people who know what FAS is and when i ve talks locally
too, people ask me on how to kick start the contribution. Since you
say that the awareness is limited, this could/should take some
attention as i feel there would be lot of people.

KDE 4 in Fedora is one thing that has again caught attention coz,
Fedora is the first distro to come out with KDE 4. Having said this,
this topic would probably need some thought based on the audience.

Local Contact Point could be the Lugs in your city and you could
contact Shakthi Kannan (shakthimaan at gmail.com). He currently is in
Hyderabad so you could probably ask him whether he is willing to speak
on this and be part of the event.

I ll update you as and when i get some ideas.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Balaji
