There is a russian guy who wrote an email to someone at MODX. Now, he's searching on twitter for an opportunity to get in touch with MODX to become a partner. Maybe he's a good candidate for "first contact" in russian speaking countries.]]> gallenkamp Dec 20, 2012, 02:26 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-447816 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445989 rethrash Dec 06, 2012, 10:38 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445989 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445959 https://joindiaspora.com/]]> easylancer Dec 06, 2012, 07:59 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445959 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445799 It's a great topic to discuss and we will in another thread, so thanks for bringing it up.

But back to the topic of this thread of what system has anyone seen or can think of that wouldn't require a hurclean effort to implement to help manage the ad hoc groups/calendars/RSVPs?]]> rethrash Dec 05, 2012, 10:48 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445799 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445792 That's still a long time in between each event, especially if someone can't make it to one, it's skipped once for Christmas or other holidays, or there's been some great announcements in between that people want to discuss. ]]> markh Dec 05, 2012, 09:48 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445792 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445791 I like the idea of MODX ambassador!

Anyway as somebody commented in your blog 6 meetings could be too many...

I think one of the first thing to do to promove MODX across the world should be the translation of some manuals or of some important sections of rtfm.modx.com

Also a localized version of the official site could help to spread, maybe only some pages.

Thanks for your efforts with MODX!]]> tillilab Dec 05, 2012, 09:33 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445791 https://forums.modx.com/thread/80912/help-us-build-the-modx-ambassador-program#dis-post-445669 MODXpo 2012 I started discussing the MODX Ambassador program. In short, the Ambassadors will be people that are passionate about MODX, and sharing their enthusiasm with their local communities or in virtual special interest groups. Please read my latest blog for a few more details about it.

One of the things that would be very useful would be to have a way to easily manage ad hoc groups of people around regions or special interest groups. MODX users could join or leave these groups at will and without hassle. This really wouldn't be all that dissimilar to how Meetup.com works, but we'd like to keep it within MODX—we have some other things in the works where an integration would not be optimal.

I don't really think we need a full blown mini-social network with dedicated "walls" for each group, but I'm not opposed to that either (if that's what would make the Ambassadors lives easier) … we can always have dedicated Forum topics for the various groups, too. We'd definitely like to be able to integrate with MailChimp/Mandrill to send out notices of events to the various individuals, and we need a way to schedule and take RSVPs to events (and email those that are attending important updates or event reminders).

Has anyone built something like this or have an idea about the best approach? Please share any feedback or ideas on how to make the Ambassador program an effective way to spread, connect and strenghten the MODX community.
