Actually the current quarter budget is closed.

I suggest you the following, costless or really cheap activities:

- Use your computer to build a F9 LiveUSB station.
- Print some poster you can find in the Art section of fedoraproject.org
- Burn some CDs/DVDs and give them to whoever can't afford a good
internet connection or other solutions.
- Make some cool activities at the booth: e.g. Show some key Fedora
features, Tell people about some cool case studies (seneca college,
NASA etc.)
- Mix all those things in the Fedora style :)

These are small things, but if you mix them all together you'll be
able to hold a perfect event, and, stay sure, people will love Fedora.

Hoping it could help you. If you have other questions, problems and so
on, feel free to ask here.

Best regards

Francesco Ugolini

I invite you, next time, to add your event in [1] one month before the
quarter budget will be closed (see [2]). I'm sure we could help you
with some resources.
