A picture during booth setup of what we had can be seen here: http://www.elfshadow.net/ohiolinuxfest2006/img001.jpeg.html It was a smaller 6' table/booth. We had a laptop running Core 5 that served two duties - a demo machine and when not doing that looping through a Fedora Core 5 "movie" of sorts that highlighted various Fedora features. We had DVDs on hand to distribute, which even late in the Core 5 cycle were pretty popular. We had handouts highlighting the OS features as well as a handout that offered some ways people could help the Fedora Project. We also had Fedora T-Shirts and stickers available for a small donation. And of course we had the big banner up behind us. Overall our booth saw a good amount of traffic. The banner hanging out behind us with the T-shirts displayed just below it served well to let people see who we were even when there were several people talking to us. > CentOS flyer: > > + Short introduction > + Website location > + Wiki location > + Mailinglist location > + Overview of the different versions, technologies, advantages and > differences with other distributions. > > Should be professional, straight-forward and objective. I think a good example of a flyer is to look at Ubuntu's: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Ubuntu_leaflet.pdf --Jeffrey
