Actually, project Gutenburg might be more famous than Open Source software -- it's certainly easier for non-computer people to understand. I think Gutenburg and Mutopia would be a great topic. Besides, it can serve as a "gateway drug" to open source software -- once somebody understands Gutenburg, it'll be much easier for them to understand open source software.
