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.
