Dave Megginson posted that for XML 2007, they are considering a standards pecha-kucha!
Each standards committee will have 20 slides (at 20 seconds each) to give us a quick update on what they’ve been doing over 2007 and what to expect in 2008 — that will make it possible for attendees to learn a bit about a lot of standards in a relatively short time.
I think this is a tremendously good idea! I attended the vendor pecha-kucha night at XML 2006, and found it both entertaining and informative. Michael Smith provided the impetus to get the pecha-kucha night started. I hope he'll host again, as he did a great job.
The timing would definitely a challenge (20 seconds per slide), though I have never tried presenting in a pecha-kucha format. Standards efforts I'm currently involved with include:
- OASIS DocBook TC
- OASIS DITA TC
- OASIS DITA Learning Content subcommittee
- OASIS Doc Standards Interoperability forum
- OASIS DITA-S1000D Interoperability discussion list
