That would be a start I suppose. A thought I had was about flyers
which highlight the latest GNOME technologies in the past year or so,
and the people (and companies -- might lead to sponsors ;) behind
them. For instance, gvfs, gdm-rewrite, seahorse, NetworkManager,
PackageKit, Clutter, Cheese (irrelevant in low-bandwidth India?),
Firefox 3's GNOME integration etc. We could also highlight the GNOME
SoC projects, a lot of them are very interesting :) We could then also
conduct quizzes about these things with goodies as prizes.

Basically I think we should try and bring the tech and the people
behind the tech into the limelight and inspire people to vie for the
opportunity to contribute and get involved :)
