gnome-predict is great for this. I helped build its initial RPM package.

We could demonstrate Linux's APRS abilities with X-APRS or XAstir.

http://www.xastir.org/ ( Xastir - better maintained than X-APRS).

I think it'd be a cool demo to decode APRS packets through the 
soundmodem and a scanner.

This free Tiger mapping application is impressive, too:
