Hello everybody,

my connection to REACTOS is really weak but there are my two
cents adds to the discussion.

The media at booth are mainly a more firm version
of business card/leaflet where most important information
is pointer to the project webpages. I suggest (above all) to invest
into preparation of installer (for Windows, Linux and probably MacOS
and may it be for Android) which can be downloaded
and prepares boot USB drive automatically. There are existing
projects to start with.

If you want to distribute your "visit card" for free, then use
CD, it is bigger to overlook when somebody brings it home and
if really wants to install system, he/she can download it from
website.

Then you can offer USB Flash as an alternative but at cost
which covers your expenses. It is no lost for buyer because
USB Flash is generic investment and can be used for something
else or be upgraded for newer REACTOS installer. And some
people would be happy to buy REACTOS USB Flash at end user price
and know that price difference to bulk orders goes to the
REACTOS community. This way SLAX Linux USB keys are distributed
for example - can be bought at exhibitions or ordered online.

Best wishes,

               Pavel
