Booth Duties

Hand out what swag we have on hand.
- Live CDs and DVDs until we get to the last ~50, then consider timing and if we need to save for various reasons to ensure we have some until show end
- T-shirts can only go to people who contribute to Fedora, due to limited supply.
  - Tell your contributor story on video?
  - Otherwise give an endorsement?
  - Tell us why we should use Fedora, maybe earn a 1/2 hour at the booth
  - Etc.
Hand out collateral: WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN FEDORA (need to create)
- Still do this?
Install on USB keys for those who are interested
- who is providing machine to do installs?
- Have a limited supply of live USBs pre-built, either to swap or give away for select situations
  - Journalists, active contributors, etc.
Walk new contributors through signup process.
- Is internet access available on the floor? Last year you had to pay for it
