Sir Visvesvaraya Memorial PD 2021 Tech-Guide


A lot of Parliamentary debates have gone online due to the pandemic. It requires us to use multiple technologies, and often times not every participant is well-versed with every technology. Most organising committees will require to publish some sort of tech-guide for their participants.

This tech-guide is a template for organising committees using zoom+discord as their platform for hosting debates. Feel free to use this template after changing the logos, links, etc.

How to make changes

The whole point of creating a tech-guide like this is that it is highly dynamic. PDFs need to be generated over and over if you have to change anything. A simple webpage like this allows you to:

  • Modify links as and when you wish
  • Create different zoom calls and update links
  • Modify/evaluate policy changes as and when required
  • Have complete control over how your tech guide looks.

Steps:

  • Make changes to the index.md file as required
  • Commit and push the code on to your github profile
  • Setting up github pages can help you circulate the tech-guide in a convenient way. Link on how to set up github page
