5 years ago Happy to help kickstart this with you whenever. Agree that it should be open to everyone, with candidate funnel as one of the many inputs.
I'm thinking we can give folks an ambassadors playbook with official materials that they can use for workshops, teachings.
At the moment, there are also a lot of unofficial materials floating around. Some folks are actually charging for those workshops. This would also be a good opportunity to formally open source a lot of these things. And make our materials truly open access, in many languages.

Following up on an idea from @nczhu https://github.com/nczhu, we should funnel rejected candidates towards an ambassadors program. Once developers have invested time/effort to learn our framework, we should incentivize continued engagement by making it easier for them to build out their ideas. One criterion for acceptance into the ambassadors program could be a working, documented sample built on Substrate.
Benefits of membership could include:
- host-your-own workshop starter pack
- increased access/matching to teams building on Substrate that are looking to hire runtime developers
- exclusive office hours and/or pairing with mentors at Parity (least sure about this one)
- similar benefits to the Polkadot Ambassadors Program https://polkadot.network/polkadot-ambassador-program/, with a focus on the SRML and building on top of it (ie more technical than the Polkadot Program)
I don't think that this program should be limited to rejected runtime engineer candidates. If anyone has spent significant time working on Substrate, then they should be considered for this program. The whole point is to engage those who have already invested a lot of time in the project and grow the community of developers building on Substrate.
I foresee synergies between this program and the newsletter #177 https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-developer-hub.github.io/issues/177 wherein we discuss interesting ideas built as part of the program.
