Hi

I think for that kind of presentation you don't have to ask the question
"What is Ubuntu" as the guideline, but "Why your an Ubuntu Evangelist. Show
our enthousiasm with some anecdotes, talk about your experience, tell them
why Ubuntu change your life and how it can change their lives too. Speak
with your heart, not with a model.

This is my advice

BR,
Winael
