ROOTCON 15 Virtual Human Badge

Philippine reboot-edition virtual badge and artwork archive record

ROOTCON's official archive places ROOTCON 15 on October 13-15, 2021 via Zoom Webinar and Discord, while the official sponsorship overview lists Human Badge benefits as virtual-only and the media server preserves ROOTCON 15 badge and lanyard artwork directories.

Why It Mattered

It preserves the pandemic-era ROOTCON badge lineage without upgrading an online sponsorship and artwork trail into unsupported electronics or shipped hardware.

Hardware

The source-backed claim is intentionally narrow: the sponsorship overview proves virtual-only Human Badge allocations, and the official media server proves a ROOTCON 15 badge artwork file plus lanyard artwork files. This pass did not recover physical distribution evidence, an electronic badge, PCB files, schematics, BOM, controller, firmware, production count, or final shipped-badge variants.

Software & Apps

No public ROOTCON 15 badge firmware, app, badge game, challenge source, programming guide, or repository has been recovered in this pass.

Lore

ROOTCON 15 was presented as a reboot-era conference with Zoom/Discord delivery in the archive and hybrid-language sponsor material; the badge evidence is therefore modeled as a virtual Human Badge and official artwork trail rather than all-attendee hardware.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

missing rights-cleared image note

No local ROOTCON 15 badge image has been added because the official media server exposes badge and lanyard artwork under all-rights-reserved page context, without a reusable image license, explicit permission basis, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying ROOTCON artwork, screenshots, social-media images, or generated artwork.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy, ROOTCON 15 archive, media directory, artwork directories, and sponsorship overview.

virtual artifact classification note

The recovered public sources prove virtual-only Human Badge sponsorship allocations and official badge/lanyard artwork, but do not prove physical badge distribution, electronic hardware, firmware, a challenge platform, or attendee-wide badge variants.

The dossier keeps ROOTCON 15 in the lineage as a pandemic-era virtual badge/artwork artifact instead of implying a shipped electronic badge.

Confidence: source-backed but incomplete
Status: classified as virtual identity artifact
Timeframe: 2021 reboot edition
Source note: ROOTCON 15 archive, RC15 Sponsorship Overview, and ROOTCON 15 artwork directories.
