Heck yeah.  Tangible, living, schwag.

I even think optical media is appropriate, if we can get people to 
donate it?  (e.g. OpenBSD is still hard media, FreeBSD Mall does disks, 
[not sure what Net is doing these days, dragonfly is likely a noop for 
media.)  PfSense?

Along with the oldschool instant gratification, I think hard media has 
an even greater resonance, with all this year's net/crypto hyjinks.

Yes. I think this is awesome.  Micro-SD is perfect, the ones with SD 
adapter sleves are common...  4Gb or whatever is common/'small' should 
do, no?
