Community/AmbassadorProgram
The OpenStack Ambassador program aims to create a framework of community leaders to sustainably expand the reach of OpenStack around the world. It was introduced in August 2013, with this blog post
Role of the Ambassador
- Act as a liason between user groups, the Foundation, and the general community, for example:
- helping to solicit feedback on OpenStack and aggregate it to the global level
- promoting key messages into the user communities (eg “ask questions on ask.openstack.org!”)
- finding people to help localise content
- helping onboard new users and contributors
- Assist in user group best practice – from nurturing new groups to cementing the quality of existing ones
- Help people find the ‘right people’ to talk to
- Represent the community via speaking and visibility opportunities with the official title
- Report on the activities in their region
- Be a good leader, wranging activity from others and mobilising the global OpenStack community!
