ROOTCON 13 Programmable Badge

Philippine custom programmable conference badge sponsor-placement record

ROOTCON's official archive and quick guide place ROOTCON 13 at Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay on September 25-27, 2019, while the official sponsor prospectus sells an RC13 Badge add-on and describes ROOTCON as the first Philippine conference with a custom programmable conference badge.

Why It Mattered

It strengthens the Philippine ROOTCON lineage with a direct official source for custom programmable conference-badge status and sponsor-logo placement, bridging the earlier ROOTCON 11/12 records with later scarcity-managed badge distribution.

Hardware

The source-backed claim is intentionally narrow: the sponsor prospectus proves a custom programmable conference badge and paid logo placement on the ROOTCON 13 badge. This pass did not recover public schematics, BOM, controller, display, radio, battery, production count, firmware, or complete component-level documentation.

Software & Apps

No public ROOTCON 13 firmware, app, badge game, challenge source, programming guide, or repository has been recovered in this pass.

Lore

ROOTCON 13's public material framed the badge as sponsor-visible conference real estate and placed the event inside a growing Tagaytay hacking-conference programme with Day Zer0 trainings and a new Car Hacking Village.

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware archive gap note

The recovered public sources prove a ROOTCON 13 custom programmable conference badge and badge logo-placement add-on, but do not document components, firmware, schematic, board files, artwork source, production run, or shipped badge variants.

The dossier keeps the programmable-badge claim tied to the official sponsor prospectus and avoids unsupported hardware or software details.

Confidence: source-backed but incomplete
Status: needs technical archive recovery
Timeframe: 2019 archive pass
Source note: ROOTCON 13 archive, quick guide, media directory, and sponsors prospectus.

missing rights-cleared image note

No local ROOTCON 13 badge image has been added because no specific badge photo or official reusable raster render with complete source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes was recovered.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying ROOTCON archive imagery, sponsor-prospectus artwork, Facebook album photos, screenshots, or generated artwork.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy, ROOTCON 13 archive, quick guide, media directory, and sponsors prospectus.
