For one flisol we made a collage in a board like elementary school kids
do. It was 10th Fedora aniversary. We have some info about all
releases, and all FPL's ... really old fashion ... nothing like having
a big screen with a slide show. It was a magnet, maybe because we made
something different. The bonus was that everybody collaborator involved
got better at fedora history.

In the third world internet is becoming better and better, so having
media is not that important as it used to be. We have a lot of request
for copying the iso files. 

Still, I would prefer to have media in the booth, but I really see how
this is becoming less important. What really matters is what we do with
the few seconds of attention that a person give us when we talk with
them at the booth.
