Welcome to the Ambassador Program!

As the ONOS project grows in scope and scale, community needs to be strengthened and empowered accordingly. This is the central aim of the ONOS Ambassador Program: to empower and to help push responsibility to the edges of the ONOS community. The program provides a simple framework and a specific set of tools to help anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about ONOS organize and/or attend events, recruit and mentor new contributors, and better support their local communities.When joining the program, an ONOS Ambassador agrees to take on some or all of the following responsibilities:

• represent the ONOS team in their country/region
• promote the ONOS Project and our mission
• inspire, recruit and support new contributors
• document clearly all his/her activities

Open and community-driven[edit]

The Ambassadors program is open to anyone who is:

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

Although anyone can apply to join the program, each application is carefully reviewed by the ONOS Ambassador Steering Team and each applicant, if shortlisted, must pass a short interview before officially becoming an Ambassador
