Why It Mattered

It captures a documented Western Australian hacker-conference badge artifact without inventing electronics from a sparse ticket source.

Hardware

The source trail proves a physical conference badge was included with the standard ticket, but does not identify material, print method, dimensions, maker, PCB, battery, display, radio, NFC, or any programmable component.

Software & Apps

No badge software, firmware, challenge code, or app behavior is documented for the WAHCKon 2013 badge in the recovered public sources.

Lore

WAHCKon described itself as Perth's first hacker conference, and InfoconDB places the 2013 edition at Building 32, Edith Cowan University across May 4-5, 2013.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail caveat note

The public ticket source says a badge existed, but does not describe material, shape, print method, maker, production run, or component-level details.

The catalogue keeps the entry to the proved badge-inclusion claim until direct artifact documentation appears.

Confidence: source-backed but incomplete
Status: needs artifact documentation
Timeframe: 2013 badge archive pass
Source note: WAHCKon 2013 ticket page and InfoconDB event page.

identity-artifact classification note

The official WAHCKon ticket page proves a ticket-included badge but does not document an electronic or programmable badge.

The record is modeled as an identity artifact and avoids unsupported PCB, firmware, RF, display, NFC, or challenge claims.

Confidence: official source
Status: documented
Timeframe: 2013 ticket-page pass
Source note: WAHCKon 2013 ticket page.

missing rights-cleared image note

No WAHCKon 2013 badge image is published because no reusable original photo or official raster render with complete license, attribution, and processing provenance has been recovered.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than using generated art or uncleared event imagery.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and WAHCKon 2013 source trail.
