The last marketing meeting, I - as current "ambassador contact" - was asked to write a nice welcome email to new ambassadors. The email should also explain a bit the ambassador program so that the new ambassadors know what they are signing up for.
I'm appending below my first version, is there anything else you suggest for that email?
Thanks, Andreas
Hi,
glad that you like to join openSUSE as an ambassador to promote openSUSE.
I have a couple of questions for you: * What have you done already for openSUSE? * What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? * What do you need to start promoting openSUSE? Hmmm, I'd either leave the question above away or tweak it as this sets the expectation that an ambassador receives something which might be the case but but that's not sure. And in general an ambassador can just start spreading the word.
Best M
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? * Why do you love to do this?
The ambassador program is currently pretty informal and we expect the ambassadors to organize themselves. So, please coordinate with other ambassadors on the opensuse-marketing mailing list: * share with them what you like to do * share what you did, e.g. what kind of event did you organize, how many people joined * share what you learned, explain what was great at your event, what you want to improve * create material that is usefull for you and other ambassadors as well
Also, as an ambassador, you're the expert on your country/region, so please share on the opensuse-marketing mailing list a bit about the openSUSE and the FOSS community in your country/region, e.g. what are their needs.
For adding you to the ambassador list at http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_list, please tell me: your country, region/city and your user page in the wiki.
