r2con 2017 Friends Badge
Limited electronic badge for r2con speakers and friends
A limited electronic badge made for r2con 2017 speakers and friends in Barcelona, documented by the official badge-manufacturing talk and first-hand reporting that says it showed project-status information such as build state, last commit, and GitHub stars.

Published the post-event writeup used to document the badge distribution scope and project-status behavior.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It adds Spain to the European badge map while preserving scope: this was not a proven all-attendee badge, but it was a real electronic conference artifact tied to the radare2 reverse-engineering community.
Hardware
The official r2con 2017 talk abstract says NighterMan covered prototyping, design, debugging, assembly, problems encountered, manufacturing, and required tools for the r2con badge. Public sources recovered so far do not expose a BOM, microcontroller, schematic, PCB repository, or component-level specification.
Software & Apps
A first-hand post-event writeup says the badge indicated project information such as build status, the last commit, and GitHub stars. The catalogue does not infer the transport, display technology, firmware repository, or live-service implementation until a primary technical archive is recovered.
Lore
r2con was the official radare2 congress, mixing trainings, talks, and a hackathon around reverse engineering. The badge was explicitly presented as a learning/manufacturing story by NighterMan, matching the event's embedded and reverse-engineering culture without turning the limited artifact into an attendee-wide claim.

Speaker and friends distribution
The recovered first-hand report describes the badge as fancy hardware for speakers and friends, so the record does not claim general attendee distribution.

Issues & Camp Impact
hardware archive gap
note
The official page proves a badge manufacturing talk, but the public source trail recovered so far does not expose schematics, firmware, BOM, PCB files, or exact components.
Hardware and software descriptions stay limited to what the sources explicitly support.

limited distribution caveat
note
The available public evidence says the badge was for speakers and friends, not for every r2con attendee.
The compendium models the object as a limited conference artifact instead of an all-attendee badge.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No rights-cleared original photo or official reusable raster render has been recovered for the r2con 2017 badge.
The record remains image-free rather than copying social or attendee imagery without complete reuse provenance.
