You may want to ask Don Armstrong, who has coordinated the Debian
booth at SCALE for the past few years. He has a banner that we
usually hang up, and we've sold t-shirts, handed out flyers, and
talked with visitors. In past years, we've set up a Babelbox
(cf. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox) as a demo. It
helps to have at least two people staffing the booth so that there's
someone to cover the booth when a person needs to eat or go to the
bathroom.
