Scala Ambassadors

Scala Ambassadors are leaders and key figures in the Scala community.

Ambassadors have volunteered to work with the Scala Center and the community to:

This Repo

This repository is a tool aimed to help the Ambassadors in their community-building activities. It fulfills the following objectives:

Knowledge Sharing. It contains a growing body of resources that Ambassadors use to help each other help others. This, for example, can be materials on how someone can start a new Scala meetup, or become a speaker at one. If one Ambassador already has a good answer to those and other questions, they can share it with the other Ambassadors in this repo.
Discussion of important topics in public. This can be, for example, questions about evolving the Ambassador program itself, which can be discussed in the form of discussions or issues.
Organization and coordination of community events and projects.

Ambassadors are encouraged to:

Be present whenever possible at their local community events.
Start new community events if they aren't already happening.
Be visible to other community members as Ambassadors.
Be perceived by the other community members as go-to people to find high quality answers to Scala-related questions
Relay community feedback to the Scala organization

The Center selects Ambassadors who have:

Strong knowledge of Scala and its community
A positive track record of activity in the community - conferences, meetups, forums, chat rooms, open source projects, and so on
No track record of unprofessional behavior
