What this is
This page is meant as a worldwide compendium and memorandum for all the cool tech around hacker badges: the boards people wore, the apps they shipped, the add-ons they inspired, and the weird constraints that made them memorable.
About
A worldwide compendium and memorandum for cool hacker badge tech.
Hacker Con Badges is a curated reference for electronic conference badges, camp identity artifacts, add-ons, firmware, lore, and the production stories around them.
What it is not
It is not a completion audit, public backlog, or community submission queue. The public site is the catalogue. Editorial notes and coverage ledgers live outside the published route surface.
Who keeps it
Maintained by Franz Bettag. More work, projects, and contact surfaces live at bett.ag, x.com/fbettag, and github.com/fbettag.
Funding & Disclosure
