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!
