Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The entry remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying attendee photos, animated GIFs, or diagram material.
Evidence
Global Security BSides chapter listing for BSides Johannesburg / BSides Joburg with the official site and organizer contact, anchoring the Security BSides lineage.
August 13, 2026 post-event write-up documenting the shipped ATtiny816 VQFN-20, seven front LEDs, coin cell holder, and switch, the lighthouse and speaker image variants, and designer-builder Mike / @shifttymike.
MIT license statement for the attendee firmware archive; the blog write-up's own media terms are not treated as image reuse rights.
Official chapter event source for the July 25, 2026 Light The Way edition, 08:00-18:00 at Focus Rooms, 20 Heaton Lane Longlake, Johannesburg; the site still reads pre-event with a countdown and ticketing links and does not mention the badge.
MIT-licensed first-hand attendee archive with custom ATtiny816 Larson-scanner/fill-bar/strobe firmware, UPDI pin-disco diagnostics, the recovered real LED map, and flash tooling.
Source trail
Primary official event source for the July 25, 2026 Light The Way date, 08:00-18:00 times, and Focus Rooms venue. The page carries no badge mention and still reads pre-event after the elapsed date.
Primary artifact source for the shipped ATtiny816 VQFN-20, seven LEDs, coin cell holder, switch, real LED map, and attendee-written replacement firmware under MIT.
First-hand post-event corroboration for the held conference and shipped badge: lighthouse versus speaker image variants, 'light the way' tagline, and the designer-builder credit for Mike / @shifttymike.
