All of the above in 60-90 minutes?  That's an extremely ambitious plan.

IMO, you should plan at least 6-7 hours and even that may not be enough

26/Aug is a Friday.  Don't expect volunteers to drop their
weekday/daytime job for this event (unless your college has a budget
for a honorarium fee for them).

Suggestion -- plan it on a weekend and publicize it wide (other
colleges).   The objective is to promote FOSS.

Hope this helps a bit with planning your FOSS activities.
