Why It Mattered

It captures a pandemic-era Brisbane conference artifact without inventing electronics: the public sources prove access-badge pickup and a named social-support badge, not a programmable PCB badge.

Hardware

The recovered sources document badge collection at doors and Friday pre-registration, plus a CrikeyCon Connect badge used as a visible helper marker. They do not document a PCB, microcontroller, firmware, battery, display, radio, NFC, SAO, or any electronic badge function.

Software & Apps

No badge software is documented for CrikeyCon VII 2021. The event had CTF activity, Red Vs Blue, and Hack-A-Bomb challenge programming, but those are event activities rather than badge firmware evidence.

Lore

The schedule told attendees they could walk in, grab a badge, and get coffee at doors-open. The events page told attendees seeking industry-pathway conversations to look for the CrikeyCon Connect badge.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail caveat note

The recovered official sources do not disclose whether the 2021 credential or Connect badge had electronics, special printing, serial numbers, NFC, QR behavior, or any programmable surface.

The catalogue keeps the record to badge pickup and Connect-helper signalling until direct badge documentation appears.

Confidence: official source but no technical archive
Status: needs primary badge archive
Timeframe: 2021 badge archive pass
Source note: CrikeyCon VII schedule and events pages.

identity-artifact classification note

The recovered CrikeyCon VII sources prove badge pickup and a CrikeyCon Connect badge marker but do not prove an electronic conference badge.

The entry is intentionally modeled as a conference identity and support-signal artifact so the CrikeyCon lineage expands without inventing PCB, firmware, RF, CTF, display, or programmable behavior.

Confidence: official source
Status: documented
Timeframe: 2021 event archive pass
Source note: CrikeyCon VII archive, schedule, and events pages.

missing rights-cleared image note

No CrikeyCon VII badge or Connect-badge image is published because no reusable original photo with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes has been recovered.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event imagery, social 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 CrikeyCon VII source trail.
