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.
The other option is to create context around workloads. For example,
ELK (or, similar) stack on Fedora; Hadoop etc on Fedora and so forth.
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.
