Call for participation: Bad Attitude Pecha Kucha @ IETF 119
Time: Wednesday, March 20 at 10 pm Brisbane time
Location: M3 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/119/floor-plan?room=m3)

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.

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:

* Jen Linkova will be your emcee at Brisbane's PK!

* Presentation slots are open to all, assigned first-come, first-served.

* To reserve a presentation slot, send a name and title to Kyle at
krose@krose.org and/or to Jen at furry13@gmail.com 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 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 rule will come into force. We should be able to
provide you with direct control over slide advancement via wireless remote.

* We 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. The day
before would be *great*. The later you send your deck, the more important
it is that you send it to Jen at furry13@gmail.com since the plenary starts
at 3 am US Eastern time. Decks sent after the plenary starts are processed
on a best effort basis and Jen MAY replace them with random images of
kittens, puppies, and baby koalas.

* Please provide slides as a PDF. 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 a PDF viewer.
Since it should be static images in most cases, this should be easy!

* 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 likely be recorded,
they will not be live-streamed and there will be no remote participation.

* The event is BYOB.

We hope to see you there!

Kyle and Jen
