In the past I have had 2 "distributions" that I gave away at ISSAC.
The first was my Rosetta collection (about 100 open source systems collected onto CDs). Some of these I eventually put on the ISSAC CD itself (I constructed the CD for 2 years). It was distributed by ACM. The second was an Axiom distribution. Axiom was also on the ISSAC CD. I made enough CDs so that everyone had one distributed with their information packets and I had a pile of 50 CDs that sat on the registration desk. You might consider designating a particular snapshot (say, 3.0) that you plan to package and build onto CDs. If they use Alfredo Portes's Doyen Live CD then people can just boot up their laptops and have Sage running live immediately. Distributing Sage with the registration materials would mean that everyone could try it during or after your talk. In fact, if you find out who is going to make the ISSAC CDs this year you might be able to get the whole CD actually BE a Sage distribution. I don't know who might be doing it this year but Emil Volcheck would certainly know who to ask.
