The P4 community is excited to open applications for its Ambassador cohort! We are looking for a group of dedicated community leaders who will foster growth, drive technical contributions, and uphold the values of the P4 ecosystem.
Deadline to apply is Monday, July 20, 2026 at 11:59 pm PT.
Ambassador Chair
To lead this group, the Governing Board and Technical Steering Committee have recruited an Ambassador Chair to lead this group. We’re grateful to Davide Scano, for dedicating the next year to leading this new group.
Davide has been the ideal P4 Ambassador over the past few years. That’s why he’s the person to lead this initiative.
He currently hosts the P4 Developer Day events and leads the organization of the P4 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Initiative.
Davide said: “I’ve spent my life in networks and in communities, and P4 is where they finally meet. I can’t wait to work with our ambassadors to grow a community that makes P4 accessible to anyone who wants to program the network.”
