| [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Pecha Kucha Talks |
Hi, Just to answer the Question About Pecha Kucha, the International Pecha Kucha Day: https://www.pechakucha.com/internationalpk was just on Saturday. If you take e.g. a "Quickie", "Lightning Talk" or whatever they call them at different conferences like Devoxx they often have a similar concept. Pecha Kucha I believe started by architects in Tokyo who had to pitch their proposal to possible clients or similar decision makers. It now covers almost everything from art to healthCare and I did a few in India around 2010. Followed by a Pecha Kucha Talk 2013 where I first pitched what I presented at JavaOne Embeded in a longer form in just 6 minutes using 20 slides (that is the Pecha Kucha format) in the historic Frankfurt stock market venue. Eventually it became JSR 385 a few months later. So if anybody has 20 or 30 slides trying to fit them into 10 minutes or less, the discipline you learn in a Pecha Kucha talk may help accomplish that.
