PoShaKucha

PoShaKucha is a play on words, combining “PowerShell” and “Pecha Kucha”. A Pecha Kucha is an entertaining presentation format in which 20 images or slides are shown and commented on for 20 seconds each. That way the presentation is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The same rule applies to a PoShaKucha. It is easy to imagine that this presentation format is both entertaining and challenging for the speaker.

In the context of PSConfEU 2024 in Antwerp we introduced this new format. Anyone who was there could take part. More information is available via the following link:

As a demonstration I took on the challenge and recorded such a PoShaKucha:
“Everything You Will Ever Need to Know About Get-WinEvent”

The video offers not only subtitles but also two audio tracks (German, English). Slides and demo code are in the GitHub repo:

In Antwerp I then spoke about “about Epochs”: https://youtu.be/frbtbLPvN24

There are quite a few more PoShaKuchas on the PSConfEU YouTube channel, as well as a (hopefully) interesting “Making of ..”, including an interview with Pratheep Sinnathurai: https://youtu.be/OTL0G5m_L7E
