Why It Mattered

It adds a second pre-2025 CHCon artifact record and separates proven identity-badge materials from nearby electronic challenge activity instead of inventing hardware for the attendee badge.

Hardware

The recovered official sources prove identification tags/badges for the event and electronic challenges in the CTF. They do not prove that the attendee tag/badge was an electronic badge, nor do they document a PCB, component list, battery, display, RF, NFC, SAO connector, or badge firmware.

Software & Apps

The official about page says CHCon 2019's CTF included cyber, physical, and electronic challenges across both main-event days. No badge-specific firmware, repository, API, serial console, or challenge file set has been recovered for the identity tags/badges.

Lore

CHCon 2019 ran at The Christchurch Arts Centre from October 9-11, with main presentations on October 10-11. The official about page also points attendees toward Kawaiicon, Purplecon, and Kakacon activity in Wellington the following week.

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail caveat note

The recovered official sources do not document badge electronics, firmware, microcontroller, serial interface, display, radio, NFC, QR behavior, or a badge-specific challenge repository.

The catalogue keeps component-level fields empty until direct badge documentation is recovered.

Confidence: official source but no technical badge archive
Status: needs primary badge archive
Timeframe: 2019 badge archive pass
Source note: CHCon 2019 about and sponsorship pages.

identity-artifact classification note

The CHCon 2019 sources prove identification tags/badges and nearby electronic CTF challenges, but not an electronic attendee badge.

The entry separates identity-badge materials from CTF electronics so the record does not invent a PCB credential.

Confidence: official source
Status: documented
Timeframe: 2019 event archive pass
Source note: CHCon 2019 about and sponsorship pages.

missing rights-cleared image note

No CHCon 2019 identity-tag or badge image is published because no reusable original photo with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes has been recovered.

The record stays image-free rather than copying site imagery, sponsor assets, social-media photos, or generated badge art.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and CHCon 2019 source trail.
