Hi :) I like these ideas "The LibreOfficizer" or have a tag line like "LibreOffice-o-Matic: A Free copy for every customer!" but the original still sounds the best, to me "USB Filling Station" despite my stated reservations i still think it's a good way of saying it. Both Robinson's suggestions sound a little retro but Dr Who has made retro cool again.
Obviously you need to keep it short to grab people's attention. Avoid the tl;dr! Are there going to be other OpenSource projects available in the same way at the same booth? I'm not sure if that would help introduce people to the wider "eco-system" or just confuse people or cause fragmentation (with people originally coming up for LO but then walking off never using it and just using other FOSS stuff instead). "Blender" might be a good way of attracting people.
