I'm intrigued with this idea. I think that offering something like
this to our Ambassadors is a great idea, and ask for your help to
make this idea feasible.
Here's my concern. Since the process to become an Ambassador is very
simple [1], we don't want people signing up as Ambassadors simply as
a free mechanism to get their CLA. This would create work, clutter
and noise to our community. People would sign up and then we would
never hear from them again. It would also create extra expense (as
in real $) to our community and/or SUSE as a sponsor; money expended
without benefit to our community. [1]

Hey,
I agree with the idea of making free courses for ambassadors. But I see
the problem too. In my opinion, it's not on behalf of openSUSE to have
several ambassadors who just sign up and then aren't heard any more.
I believe, that an ambassador should run through a similar process as an
openSUSE Member has too. Every ambassador should apply for the post e.g.
at the newsletter or the website and has to get at least a certain
number of supporters of his or her ideas to become ambassador.
That would raise the quality of the post of an openSUSE ambassador!
