UPDATE: Less than a week to go and we are very short on
talks. I need some more people to step up and offer to rant at their
fellow IETF attendees. As an added incentive, I've successfully secured
funding for beers, so thanks to the Secretariat and to Akamai (my
employer) for some free libations!
If you are new to this talk format and want to see some examples, check out the videos from past PKs:

Second call for participation: Bad Attitude Pecha Kucha @ IETF 118
Time: Wednesday, November 8 at 10 pm local time (CEST)
Location: TBD at the Hilton Prague
Come
share your favorite stories, rants, or calls to action with your
colleagues at IETF 118. If you have a topic about which you are
passionate, you can give a Pecha Kucha.
What is a Pecha Kucha, you ask? A Pecha Kucha is a lightning-talk presentation format, originating in Japan, where a speaker presents 20 image-only slides that are each on the screen for 20 seconds and advance automatically. With each talk lasting for 6:40, it has the feature of forcing presentations -- good or bad -- to be focused and brief.
This is an unofficial event. Topics are encouraged to be IETF-related and satirical or controversial in some way, although not mean-spirited. Anyone can participate in this social event.
Format Details:
* Presentation slots are open to all, assigned first-come, first-served.
* To reserve a presentation slot, send a name and title to krose@xxxxxxxxx and receive confirmation.
* Presenters have two choices for talk format:
- You may adhere to the traditional Pecha Kucha format (20 slides, primarily image-only, automatically advancing every 20 seconds). Try to avoid animations as they may interfere with the 20 second auto-advance.
- You may alternatively use your 6:40 slot to give a presentation in some other format, but you will be strictly limited to those 400 seconds, after which the Lars Eggert rule will come into force. I should be able to provide you with direct control over slide advancement via wireless remote.
* I must receive your final slide deck no later than the start of the Plenary on Wednesday (i.e., by 5pm local time). Earlier is better.
* Please provide slides in PDF, ODP, or PPT format. Given the constraints of the room projector setup, I cannot guarantee you will be able to hook up your own laptop, so please design your deck to be presentable via PDF viewer or OpenOffice.
* There are lots of online tutorials and suggestions for how to make a good Pecha Kucha. Here are some links:

* This is an in-person event only: while talks will be recorded for later viewing (thanks to the fine efforts of our own Tero Kivinen), they will not be live-streamed and there will be no remote participation.
I hope to see you there!
