Meet the Robot Framework

AMBASSADORS

By the community, for the community

What Ambassadors Do

Teach and Support New Learners

From first-timers to fast-trackers — you help others get started.

Ambassadors support students, answer questions, and mentor newcomers who are just discovering Robot Framework. You make learning accessible and personal.

  • Mentor new users one-on-one or in public channels

  • Help students and interns learn Robot Framework through guided support

  • Answer beginner questions in forums, Slack, or community calls

  • Share tips and advice for those starting out

Share Knowledge Publicly

Talk, write, and show — your voice scales! As an ambassador, you play a key role in spreading knowledge and inspiring others by helping them understand what Robot Framework is capable of.

Whether you're presenting at events, leading workshops, writing useful content, or creating media, your contributions make the community stronger and more informed.

Build the Tools

Robot Framework is only as strong as its ecosystem — and you help build it. Ambassadors contribute to the technical side by developing, maintaining, and supporting tools that others depend on.

  • Create or maintain Robot Framework libraries and tools

  • Contribute to the core or help fix issues

  • Write documentation and practical examples for tools

  • Answer user questions related to specific libraries

Promote Learning and Certification

Training matters — and you make it accessible. Ambassadors support formal learning and certification so users can confidently grow their skills and credibility with Robot Framework.

  • Advocate for training and certification in your organization or community

  • Help others prepare for certification

  • Encourage your company to become a training or certification partner

  • Contribute to the development of certification programs

You don’t just help individuals — you open new doors

Ambassadors help expand Robot Framework into new industries, companies, and domains. You find places where it fits, and help others see the value.

  • Introduce Robot Framework to new industries or market segments

  • Help companies adopt Robot Framework for the first time

  • Act as a connector between organizations and community resources

  • Mentor professionals exploring Robot Framework in new contexts
