WSO2 has announced the launch of the WSO2 Ambassador Program, a global initiative designed to recognise and support the contributions of individuals within its technology community.
The programme specifically targets developers and architects who are passionate about WSO2’s technologies and actively contribute to the open-source ecosystem. It is open to developers, architects and technical leaders who have practical experience using WSO2 technology and demonstrate a passion for empowering others through the creation of content, participation in events and contributions to code.
The programme is also designed to be flexible, allowing ambassadors to contribute at a pace that suits them, with varying levels of engagement.
Bolstering technology expertise
Founded in 2005, WSO2 has established itself as a provider of open-source software for API management, integration and identity and access management (IAM), serving a wide range of enterprises across numerous countries.
The WSO2 Ambassador Program is intended to celebrate and support those individuals who are actively sharing their knowledge, driving innovation, and contributing to the growth of the open-source community that has developed around WSO2’s offerings.
WSO2 recognises that developers are not simply users of WSO2’s open-source platforms, which include solutions for API management, integration, IAM and the company’s internal developer platform, Choreo. They are also active contributors, helping to shape the products through their feedback and developing solutions that impact a large number of users.
Alternatively, architects are recognised for their role in designing the broader technological landscape. They are responsible for creating scalable, secure and future-ready digital architectures that enable developer innovations to be implemented effectively.
By providing mentorship, increased visibility and various forms of support, WSO2 aims to support developers to become leaders within their respective communities and to further their own personal and professional development.
“Developers are the driving force behind innovation,” said Isabelle Mauny, Chief Developer Advocate at WSO2.
“They are not merely users of our products – they are instrumental in shaping them. Architects help ensure that solutions built on WSO2’s platforms are robust, cohesive and aligned with long-term business goals. The WSO2 Ambassador Program is our way of acknowledging their contributions and supporting their continued growth. Whether through leading community meetups, publishing technical tutorials, or contributing to our codebase, our ambassadors play a vital role in empowering others to succeed with WSO2.”
The benefits for WSO2 Ambassadors include:
- Skill-building opportunities in areas such as community leadership, developer advocacy and public speaking.
- Sponsorship for local events, meetups and conferences, aimed at encouraging the growth of regional communities.
- Increased visibility and recognition through WSO2’s various digital channels and media outlets.
- Access to exclusive WSO2 events, tools and company branded merchandise.
- Opportunities for direct collaboration with WSO2 teams, allowing ambassadors to provide feedback and influence the direction of product development.
“Being a WSO2 Ambassador is not about holding a title – it is about making a meaningful impact,” Mauny said, adding: “It recognises those developers who dedicate their time to writing tutorials, answering questions in forums and mentoring the next generation of technologists. Our goal is to support their efforts, elevate their contributions and connect them with a global community of peers and innovators.”
