I used F15 Release Poster with a lot of success

People loved fedora baloons, I want to get more of those!!

There was also fedora bubble stickers.

I have some shinny case badjes, those are really cool. People fight over
them ;-)

I made two things:
One slide show with: 1) what is fedora? 2) What's new on Fedora15? 3)
some resources. Because those things are borring as a talk, having them
on a slide show in the entrance of the event helps.
One video about gnome-shell with tips and trics. Because I can make many
mistakes during the creation of the video and not show them to public.
Heres is a link. (It is in spanish)

I miss having a leaflet. I created one but turn old and some links were
outdated. I did not had time to create a new one. I have to admit that
this has local information.  If there is a general leaflet, with a blank
space for just a couple of links and emails for local contact, can be
nice.

A poster for Live USB creator stations.
