Ambassadors

Welcome to the ONOS/CORD Ambassadors Program!

The Ambassadors Program is designed to empower anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about ONOS and/or CORD, who wants to promote either project in their region and build a strong local community around it. The program provides a simple framework and a specific set of tools to help you organize and/or attend events, recruit and mentor new contributors and also better support your local community. When joining the program, an Ambassador agrees to take on some or all of the following responsibilities:

• represent ONOS/CORD communities locally
• promote the ONOS/CORD projects and ON.Lab’s mission
• inspire, recruit and support new contributors
• document clearly all his/her activities for the benefit of the broader community

Open and community-driven

The Ambassadors program is open to anyone who is:

• passionate about the ONOS/CORD project 
• knowledgeable of the ONOS/CORD mission and networking technology in general
• keen to engage with and inspire new people to contribute ONOS/CORD
