Adding a set of guidelines to be kept in mind while organizing an event

rakaar commented 3 years ago

For few months, I always felt that there needed to be a checklist of things, while organizing an event. I felt it was a serious thing that was missing in docs. Since new executives will be onboarding soon, this is the right time that such a set of guidelines is made.

Though some of the points in the doc might seem too obvious to mention. There have been incidents in the past, where such minor things have been neglected and they had a considerable negative effect on the workshop. All of the points have been written from the mistakes of previous workshops.

Feel free to oppose any of the points. If there are any points that require deeper explanation, please mention them. But it is equally important that the doc is concise(we don't want to waste a reader's time).

I feel that this doc should be:

Short: If this is long, no one will read it or might read only a part of it
Precise and practical: No place for ambiguity, things not of practical use. If there are more ways to make this doc contain the above 2 qualities, please mention them.

TODO:

[x] Add emojis, so that the doc doesn't look boring - ref. But not too many to distract
[x] Add as many links and references as possible

Any more changes required? Shall we merge this?

As per the 4th rule, I am not merging it

Since the PR has already gotten 7 approvals, I think someone can merge it if no more serious changes are required. (Please Squash and Merge )
