FAQ

How often are ambassador applications reviewed?

We review hundreds of applications each month, but can only accept a few new CNCF Ambassadors from the pool of highly-qualified individuals. We are currently prioritizing Ambassadors who organize Meetups around CNCF technologies in regions not already represented.

Do I need to re-apply?

No, once you formally apply you are part of the pool of applicants that get reviewed on a monthly basis.

Will you email me with a status update of my application each month?

No. If your application is deferred, we will send out a note the first time your application is reviewed. After that, we will only follow up if your application is accepted.
