Some of the apps currently on that slide might be a bit esoteric to
many undergrads. Probably you've put a lot of thought into the
sample represented there, but how about adding QGIS, GIMP, Inkscape,
Scribus, and LibreOffice? That would show that open source includes
'common or garden' software, and that there are viable OS
alternatives for products that students probably use often. I would
guess that Firefox might be the only logo that the average non-CS
student would recognise.

I'd include GIMP and Inkscape since Photoshop
and Illustrator are brands that have become generic and are probably
household names for most students, regardless of their area of study.

For context, the self-guided version currently lists: Firefox, Tor, Banshee, Wordpress, Ubuntu, SciPy, OpenROV, and OpenMRS. The presenter-led version lists all of those plus: Python, Dreamwidth, Raspberry Pi, Blender, Sugar Labs, and Code.NASA.

For the self-guided version: Banshee sort of covers the "FLOSS version of common software" ground vis a vis iTunes, but we could swap it out for Gimp or Inkscape. If I were to do that, which of the two should I choose? I can also replace SciPy with LibreOffice - OpenROV covers "open science" just as well, and also represents open hardware.

The presenter-led version has more room for logos so I can just add Gimp/Inkscape and LibreOffice in without losing anything.
