That's a good start, I guess! :-D
Points I can think of: 1. An abstract on Nag's paper about "Why free software matters" 2. The fact that a GNU/Linux user is a member of an entire community 3. Examples of academic research projects that are done on GNU/Linux because of the freedom that they afford. 4. Importance of involving students in a community-wide effort and making real contributions instead of just arbit project ideas. 5. Instances like the IndLinux where a handful of people have managed to do something that can bring computing to millions in India.
Sameer.
