      OP, just call them “unpaid volunteers”, jeez.

      If that was for a non-profit community-driven organization, what would be the correct term. Framework, however, is a regular for-profit company that is looking for people to promote their commercial products.

        I just really hate clickbait titles when you could easily put your clickbait in the description.

        This isn’t a program to get people to go to conferences and rep Framework, it’s a program to give people who are already going to conferences and showing off their Framework some swag and opportunities to talk with the team. It’s not assigning work, it’s just saying thank you to people who are excited about Framework and active in the Linux community.

        They already have volunteers for this cause of repairable products they believe in, hence looking for volunteers.

          Those “ambassadors” are expected to take appointments via social media to show off the hardware and answer questions. That’s a job.

            No? The only thing ambassadors will be required to do on social media is to list the events they’ll be attending.

              Fist: Yes. "Where do I find the ambassadors in an event? Please reach out to the ambassadors on their social media if you have trouble locating them at events.

              As an event attendee, what can I get from meeting an ambassador? You can get your questions answered, share your feedback, and get Framework stickers and other goodies. In case you haven’t before, you will also get to see a Framework Laptop in person."

              It’s written down black on white: ambassadors need to be available on social media to schedule a meeting, reply to questions, and hand out “stickers and other goodies” (=those aren’t even for the ambassadors to keep).

              Second: so there are, by your own admission, requirements tied to getting some stickers.

              That’s a job. It’s not a full time job but it most certainly is a job.
