BSides Fort Wayne 2026

The June 6, 2026 Indiana Security BSides edition whose organizer ticket listing offered a $30 optional e-badge add-on. Its public 2026 source repository contains distinct June commits, but recovered sources do not establish final hardware, individual purchase, physical receipt, or attendee-wide delivery.

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge

BSides Fort Wayne's organizer ticket page offered a $30 optional e-badge add-on for the June 6, 2026 conference. The public BSidesFW2026Badge repository has distinct June 2026 activity, including a dedicated STLs/2026 enclosure set and default badge data changed to 2026, together with MicroPython source and inherited V4 technical documentation. The evidence links a real optional e-badge offer to a 2026 source archive without claiming a confirmed sale, physical receipt, firmware deployment, or exact final hardware configuration.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge public 2026 source-backed

dated source revision

2026 default badge-data update

A June 6 commit changes the default badge identity title in the repository source to 2026. It is direct evidence of a 2026 software revision, not evidence that the current tree was flashed or run on a particular physical e-badge.

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge offered on organizer ticket page

event ticket offer

Optional $30 e-badge ticket add-on

The organizer ticket listing advertises a $30 optional BSidesFW 2026 e-badge add-on for the June 6 event. This establishes the offer and price snapshot, not order count, payment, manufacture, inventory, pickup, shipping, physical receipt, replacement, or attendee-wide distribution.

Compatibility: BSides Fort Wayne 2026

firmware and app archive

MicroPython, CTF, and app source archive

The repository provides MicroPython application source and firmware documentation that describes compiled C modules and CTF challenge support. No reviewed release, tag, post-event guide, or device record verifies the production image or an owner-support path for 2026 units.

Compatibility: BSidesFW2026Badge source archive

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge inherited 2025-lineage context

hardware documentation

Inherited V4 ESP32 hardware context

The current repository includes V4 documentation for an ESP32-WROVER platform with LEDs, buttons, accelerometer, LiPo/power circuitry, display headers, buzzer, and expansion pads. Its 2025 wording and old schematic link keep this as context rather than a claim about every optional 2026 e-badge unit.

Compatibility: BSides Fort Wayne 2026 source context only

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge public 2026 source-backed

mechanical source archive

STLs/2026 enclosure-source set

A June 4 commit adds a 2026 3MF badge file plus screen-cover and rounded/squared battery-case STL files under STLs/2026. The files establish published mechanical-source material, not a fabrication run, final print settings, assembly result, or image-reuse clearance.

BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge repository root declaration

software and documentation license

MIT source license

The root LICENSE is MIT and names David Prows with a 2025 copyright. The catalogue records that source license while keeping the separate requirement for a selected image's source URL, reuse basis, attribution, and processing notes before publishing a badge hero image.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

2025 documentation and 2026 source revision boundary · current repository review · distinct 2026 commits documented; inherited documents retained

The public repository is named BSidesFW2026Badge, carries a 2026 description, includes June 2026 source and STLs/2026 commits, but its current root README calls itself BSidesFW2025Badge and its V4 hardware guide points to an older 2025 lineage schematic. This mixed tree cannot prove that every inherited behavior or specification describes a final 2026 unit.

2026-specific source changes are recorded precisely, while older hardware and guide material remains labelled inherited context rather than silently upgraded into a production claim.

final hardware, power, and electrical-safety gap · inherited technical documentation · board context public; final 2026 configuration unconfirmed

The V4 document describes a capable ESP32/LiPo platform and includes a warning about operation without a battery, but no reviewed 2026 source establishes the final PCB revision, component population, displays, battery inclusion or chemistry, wiring, mechanical assembly, firmware/power interaction, current draw, charging behavior, thermal result, test record, compliance, or safe field configuration for the ticketed e-badge.

Readers can inspect inherited technical context without treating it as a safety validation, complete specification, compatibility guarantee, or reproducible final device.

firmware deployment and release gap · public repository and GitHub metadata · source visible; final deployed image unrecovered

The current repository exposes MicroPython source, apps, custom-firmware documentation, and June revisions, but has no GitHub tag or release. No reviewed source maps a versioned binary or source commit to a physically delivered 2026 e-badge, provides post-event recovery/support scope, or records CTF deployment and results.

The record treats the code as a valuable public archive without asserting a final official firmware release, production flash state, challenge outcome, or supported owner-update path.

individual design and fulfillment-credit gap · public organizer and commit evidence · organization and scoped source contributors credited

The organizer and dated commits name BSides Fort Wayne, David Prows, and luke-gilsinger, but reviewed sources do not assign an individual 2026 badge designer, PCB engineer, artist, firmware release owner, manufacturer, assembler, ticket seller, fulfillment owner, or image-rights authority.

The dossier credits only the named organization and narrowly evidenced source contributions without inferring authorship, manufacturing responsibility, distribution control, or image permission.

license and visual-material scope boundary · repository root license review · MIT source license documented; image use remains unqualified

The repository root publishes an MIT LICENSE for Software and associated documentation, but this pass did not identify a selected factual badge photo or official raster with complete image-specific source, license or explicit permission basis, attribution, and processing provenance. Public repository visibility or a generic source license is not used to copy media by default.

The catalogue may link the source archive and license while maintaining the separate image-rights threshold for any future local badge asset.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No BSides Fort Wayne 2026 Optional E-Badge image is published because the organizer ticket page and public repository do not pair a selected factual physical badge photo or official upstream raster with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying Eventbrite media, GitHub previews, repository logos, README assets, STL screenshots, schematics, generated art, or approximate badge imagery.

optional add-on sale and fulfillment boundary · organizer ticket listing · offer documented; individual outcome unrecovered

The Eventbrite listing offered an optional $30 e-badge add-on for a June 6 event whose date is now past, but the reviewed sources do not show an order count, payment, production run, stock, add-on attachment to a particular ticket, pickup, shipment, recipient, replacement, refund, or completed handoff.

The catalogue can document the real e-badge offer without saying anyone purchased, received, used, or was universally issued the artifact.
