I made a presentation on LyX/LaTeX to the LUG here at Penn State yesterday. Below is the link in case someone's interested in doing something similar...

some remarks: - Overview: nowadays, it is not right, that LaTeX is _commonly_ used for technical documents.
- Why LaTeX: you should make a difference between environments
and commands, e.g. title, author, chapter, ... are no
environments. In most cases \begin{author} ... \end{author}
works, but it is not the same when having paragraphs inside
such commands.
- Environments: section, subsection, subsubsection are
commands, not environments.it is better to say verbatim instead of code
- Why LaTeX: a list of appendices is not created by default. This needs some tricky additional code.
- Why LyX: "Bugs (if any) are fixed pretty soon" ... have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and count the open bugs ...
and last but not least, well done.
