I think it depends who you're talking to. For Linux World, I think the
majority of people visiting are from SMEs looking to learn how "Linux"
can help them. For this case the business level ideas you mentioned
would be spot on and well worth even making some fliers about. There is
also a small developer audience at Linux World, indeed some of the
visitors are likely to be developers visiting on behalf of their
employers, so it would probably be beneficial to have some technical
information available too.

Another idea: it is GNOME's 10th birthday this year. Perhaps we could
get a banner and some balloons to celebrate :-)
