Wow, thanks for all of the great points and counter points on BADGEr! You guys have really looked into it.

When we started brainstorming what we could do for the summit badge, we came up with a few goals:

Should represent and promote Open Design and Collaboration, Should promote and represent Wyolum projects and process, Should promote and represent Seeed as a premier implementation partner, Prominently display or embody the Open Hardware Logo, and finally Hardware should be be useable for projects after the show (e.g. nice dev platform, preferably arduino compatible)

I think the BADGEr is the best of all /possible/ badges that we could have come up with. A handful of people, spread over the planet, accomplished this with very limited funds. Open Hardware Rules! (pun intended).
