I agree to this. Having install media is not really useful here.
I see, okay.
Rootconf has traditionally seen stickers, keyrings, mugs, and notebooks as swag. Last year Bookmyshow had a thick green notebook which attracted quite some crowd on their booth. Crowd in Bangalore would appreciate something like umbrella but that might shoot the budget.
Yes, sounds good.

But then we could have a laptop there which can burn liveusb images for people who are interested (they bring their own usb key, perhaps). If we provide people with something on-the-spot, there's more likelihood they'll try something there vs them going back, remembering about Fedora, and then downloading and installing the iso.

Yes, This option good to have always to make sure we have latest different spin downloaded and provide it on demand because user/developer might not be interested in what Fedora iso contain as default, provide them different options might create some interest.

The user/developer would be concerned about the build-deployment pipeline. An additional aspect to think through is how to demonstrate the suitability of Fedora (or, even CentOS, even though we are talking about the event on a Fedora list) as a preferred environment. There are multiple initiatives within Fedora which address the requirements of a DevOps persona. Creating a strong story using the available tools/utilities of those initiatives is one way to increase mind-share and confidence.
The other option is to create context around workloads. For example, ELK (or, similar) stack on Fedora; Hadoop etc on Fedora and so forth.

For quite some time now, one of the most subtle way I have been talking/showing about Fedora (and CentOS) is to talk about how technologies work on them. For example, when I give a demo on Kubernetes, I will show how quickly we can start up Fedora containers. Or how Ansible works really nice on CentOS servers. Probably, we can think of ways to make that explicit. We can (and should) have some demos on containers, config management and other things on the booth.

Unrelated to what Sankarshan said, I see that there is no event owner for Rootconf mentioned at [1]. I am willing to take this up, if no one is interested.

Yes, please feel free to edit the page for the same. Maybe Praveen could be a co-owner.
