I have no problem in writing a short article on how to compose posters for scientific conferences. I will put though a lot more attention to the poster itself -the art of catching the eye, balancing color contents, and doing whatever possible to attract attention, while delivering minimal but memorable information. Then, inserted, I'd put in tip-boxes on how to accomplish a given feature of the poster using Inkscape.
I don't know if it is really the intend of the showcase section to explain the design part of the poster, in particular because there are already numerous resources about this on the web (I guess you may know this one: http://www.tos.org/pdfs/sci_speaking.pdf). In my opinion it is more a showcase for Inkscape *features* i.e. explaining what makes it easier to work with Inkscape than with other software, how to achieve some effects with Inkscape etc. However if you write such an article I will surely be interested in it!
Just some additional thoughts on this: if you wish to write an article explaining how to catch the eye, how to choose good colors etc. but focusing on how Inkscape helps you achieve these goals (e.g. the color swatches which help you keep a unified color palette) I think it would be well suited for the showcase section. Maybe that's what you meant by the "tip-boxes".
