A big aspect of netbooks is how much power is affected with regards to
various bits and bobs inside of the software stack. However, I am not
sure if it does form part of a traditional usability study. The other
aspects could be towards figuring out the activities that are
performed by netbook users to assess if these activities can be
performed by a traditional GNOME desktop.

The above I can help out with. I am pretty much sure that most of the
netbook folks have some footprint in India and, getting volunteers to
do an usability sprint would be a somewhat easier task.
