Improving Debian booths should most probably discussed on the events
lists such as debian-events-na and debian-events-eu I would say.

If these discussions result in a need for booth material to be produced
please talk to the DPL about sponsorship. When the proposals are good,
he will most probably agree to spend some money on them.
