Call for manifesto ambassadors (thinking out loud + thoughts appreciated)

[yochannah]

I'd value some community input on this.

The official "start signing the manifesto" drive is going to happen soon. The manifesto has been accepted for two talks already, but I don't have the bandwidth or funds to go to all the interesting and relevant conferences myself. I'm hoping other people in the open community might care about this passionately enough to be willing to represent it as well.

How does "Code is Science ambassadors" sound? Open to other titles, too.

What I can offer:

• your name added to the list of contributors (maybe launch a specific ambassador page?)
• a pack of Code is Science materials including
  • Manifesto leaflets
  • Code is Science stickers
  • Optionally a manifesto poster (see We need your help to create a poster!!! #32) for accepted posters at conferences?

I would need to sponsor this from a relatively limited pot of money, so I'm unsure how to strike a balance between seeming welcoming and friendly and not wanting to waste funds sending packs out where they'll just sit in someone's desk until forgotten and dumped a few years later.

Equally I'd like to be able to sponsor people attending conferences to represent the manifesto, but then the money would run out even faster 😬 maybe a to-do item is to seek more funding.
