Second call for participation: Bad Attitude Pecha Kucha @ IETF 121
Time: Wednesday, November 6 at 10 pm Dublin time
Location: Liffey A
Come share your favorite stories, rants, or calls to action with your IETF colleagues. If you have a topic about which you are passionate, you can give a Pecha Kucha.
(Apologies in advance for whatever in the announcement I screwed up or forgot to update.)
By now, most of you probably know this, but for those new to the event: 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:
* Kyle Rose and Jen Linkova will co-host the event.
* Presentation slots are open to all interested presenters. Slots are assigned first-come, first-served.
* To reserve a presentation slot, send a name and title to Kyle at krose@xxxxxxxxx AND to Jen at furry13@xxxxxxxxx and receive confirmation.
* While this recurring event originally hosted exclusively PK-format talks, presenters now 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). We need 20 static slides as a PDF. Animations are NOT supported since we will be presenting from our own laptops and we only support vanilla PDF.
- You may alternatively use your 6m 40s slot to give a presentation in some other format, but you will be strictly limited to 400 seconds, after which the Lars Eggert rule¹ will be triggered. We should be able to provide you with direct control over slide advancement via wireless remote. Animations are still NOT supported when we are presenting from our own laptops. You MAY alternatively use your own hardware to present, but you MUST show up at least 15 minutes before the event begins to test that it works and is ready to go with just an HDMI cable swap.
* We MUST receive your final slide deck no later than the start of the Plenary on Wednesday (i.e., by 5 pm local time). Earlier is better. You REALLY OUGHT TO get them to us at least a day in advance. Decks received after the plenary starts are processed on a best-effort basis and we MAY replace them with random images of kittens, puppies, and hummingbirds.
* 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 (thanks to the fine efforts of our own Tero Kivinen), they will not be live-streamed and there will be no remote participation.
We hope to see you there!

¹The Lars Eggert rule mandates that when time runs out, the audience immediately starts clapping and continues clapping until the speaker desists and vacates the podium.
