Landon,

I presented OSGeo in a geodesy students meeting here in Valencia (in
English) that could be a good start point for your presentation. It's
a little bit out of date about sponsors and incubation status of some
projects.

You have the ODP file at

https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/community/presentations/20080505-Valencia-IGSM/osgeo.odp

After your meeting it would be nice to have your slides somewhere available

Regards
