Closed caniszczyk closed 5 years ago

caniszczyk commented 5 years ago

We should have an emeritus program and also spec out expected time commitments:

@amye can you take a stab at this over the next week or so?

DRAFT for README

Ambassador Emeritus For those who need to step down from a more active commitment, the emeritus program is being introduced in August 2019.

Benefits: You'll still be listed as an ambassador emeritus on the CNCF page and are entitled to attend Ambassador meetings, and remain in the current communication channels.

Responsibilities:

give a talk, host a meetup or perform an activity that spreads the awareness of cloud native twice a year (we're open to suggestions for what works best for you!)
report back on your activities for our end-of-year report

If you decide to become more active again, Ambassador Emeritus are always welcome to be reinstated as full CNCF Ambassadors.

@cncf/ambassadors - anything we'd like to add here?

rothgar commented 5 years ago

I think this is a good step forward for the program. 👍

dankohn commented 5 years ago

I would further suggest that ambassadors who don't host a meetup or webinar, give a talk, engage on the ambassador Slack channel, volunteer for booth duty, etc. in a 4 month period are automatically moved to emeritus status.

+1 to the DRAFT and I also agree with Dan's additions. Are all these data points relatively easy to collect?

mrbobbytables commented 5 years ago

Also +1 for Dan's suggestions. As far as the data points go -- volunteering, hosting a CNCF webinar and engaging in the ambassador slack should be pretty easy.

Vetting hosting an active meetup will probably be a good amount of grunt work for someone without writing a script or tool to hit the meetup API and pull the info.

@castrojo @kbarnard10 and I looked into something easier with zapier when we were launching the kubernetes forums, but it was basic at best =/

chris-short commented 5 years ago

I appreciate this.

amye commented 5 years ago

I'm very much in favor of making the data points self-reported -- if you're engaged, you'll tell us about it. I'll add a Google Form to this and will put in reminders to let us know as we roll this out.

amye commented 5 years ago

Submitting https://github.com/cncf/ambassadors/pull/69 to kick this off, will need to follow up with ambassador audit.

This is a start, thanks @amye
