I would want to avoid being "preachy" about Free Software.
Also the term "Open Source" may have better recognition and understanding
by the general public now-a-days. But, yes we need to include "Free
Software" in the presentation. That said I tend to be more on the
"Free Software" term rather then the "Open Source" team myself. I'm just
thinking we need a balanced approach for an introductory presentation.

A. Introduction
B. Unix
C. Free Software Movement
D. Linux
E. Open Source
F. ?
G. Conclusion

We could even how the Revolution OS DVD afterward.

P.S. VI/VIM, Gnome, and Debian/Ubuntu rule also ;)
