Okay so we signed up to ambassador a certain wiki
during wikimania or
remotely on the metawiki page, is there more to be done or what? There
wasnt really any further explaination.
Signing up at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Ambassadors/List is just
a way to communicate to others (and to yourself) ;) that you consider
yourself an active tech ambassador for a specific community.
What is expected from tech ambassadors in general is defined at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration/Community_collabora…
Different communities might have different needs, and different tech
ambassadors might have different interests and priorities. If a tech
ambassador wonders about the most useful work they could be doing, one
possibility is to ask to their community in an appropriate place (i.e. the
related Village Pump). If the questions are about activities in general, a
good place to discuss is

Zppix, you have signed up as tech ambassador for English Wikipedia. Thank
you! That is a big and complex community, and there are several volunteers
who in a way or another are contributing as tech ambassadors, explicitly or
not. One suggestion would be to ask in English Wikipedia (Technical Village
Pump?) who else is interested in formalizing their tech ambassadors role
and in improving the coordination of efforts.
