Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The recovered sources prove official 2021 badge-art variants, but not a physical badge, lanyard credential, electronic badge, PCB, firmware, badge challenge, or production/distribution quantity.
The entry is modeled as official role and competition badge artwork instead of being upgraded into an unsupported hardware badge.
The current live site exposes the 2021 badge artwork attachments, but this pass did not recover a complete official 2021 event page tying venue, modality, schedule, and distribution mechanics to the badge set.
The record remains useful as a badge-art lineage entry while leaving event logistics and artifact distribution open for archive recovery.
Ekoparty 2025 Badge
note
The repository manual warns that the badge has exposed electronics and can short if placed on conductive material, even when switched off because the battery keeps the charge-management area powered.
The safety note belongs in the record because it affects handling of the physical artifact.
The current public Badge Link module snapshot calls the DragonJAR Badge Connect type while the Ekoparty setter is visible but commented, so the catalogue does not claim the final deployed badge-type constant without a release artifact.
The record can document Badge Connect behavior and cross-event lineage while keeping firmware-configuration claims conservative.
Recovered official Ekoparty 2023 sources prove the first limited electronic badge offer and 500-unit cap but do not document components, firmware, or board files.
The entry intentionally avoids component-level claims until primary technical documentation is recovered.
The CFP proves a speaker VIP badge benefit, but it does not prove a public attendee badge, electronic badge, PCB, firmware, challenge behavior, badge design, or production quantity.
The catalogue models the item as a narrow speaker identity artifact and avoids unsupported hardware claims.
The Ekoparty 2024 visual uses the Electronic Cats repository's `hardware/Eko2024.pretty/eko-badge-2024.png` upstream hardware raster under the repository README's CERN OHL v1.2 hardware-license statement.
The South American entry now has a rights-cleared official upstream raster with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.
Ekoparty 2025 Badge
note
The Ekoparty 2025 visual uses the repository's GPL-3.0 `2D_PCB1_2025-10-20.png` upstream raster render.
The South American entry now has a rights-cleared official upstream render with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.
No local Ekoparty 2021 badge-art image has been published because the official attachment pages do not provide an explicit reusable image license, attribution requirements, or permission basis for catalogue delivery assets.
The record links to the official sources while avoiding local copies of uncleared event media or generated substitutes.
No local Ekoparty 2023 badge photo has been added because a rights-cleared original image and attribution have not been verified.
The record ships without imagery rather than using a social-media image, generated image, or uncleared event asset.
No local NotPinkCon 2019 VIP badge image has been added because the recovered CFP does not provide a badge photo, reusable image license, attribution, or processing provenance.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than inventing a speaker badge image or copying event/social media.
The Ekoparty 2024 image is an official hardware-tree raster, not a documentary field photo of a populated physical badge.
The record still prefers a future licensed original documentary photo if one appears, but the current image is source-backed upstream material rather than generated, approximate, social-media, or placeholder art.
