¶ Sigmanaut Training Program
¶ The Ergo Community Ambassador Program
First, check out the official Sigmanauts Twitter announcement below:
¶ Program Overview
- Sigmanauts gain exclusive access to the team, representing and bringing ideas to the wider community. Sigmanauts are actively helping shape and grow Ergo, whether it’s with their contributions in writing, campaigning, community moderation, maintanace of Ergo related tools & sites, or by helping to shape the structure of the Sigmanaut program itself.
IMPORTANT: Please join the Ergo Discord as that is where the Sigmanaut Training Program will take place.
The Sigmanaut Program is nowhere near a full-time commitment.
You do NOT need to be creative or artistic to be a Sigmanaut !!
You should consider applying to the Sigmanaut Program if you:
☑️ Are helping (or want to help) Ergo grow in any meaningful way
☑️ Will participate in Sigmanaut discussions & vote on Sigmanaut proposals
☑️ As a trusted ambassador of Ergo, will hold yourself to high standards
📌 NOTE: Majority of the following text is borrowed from “The Sigmanauts Programme” blog post (Dec. 2021).
¶ Ways to Contribute
The Sigmanauts Programme is designed to help people participate in, and take ownership of, Ergo. What can you bring to Ergo? What are your strengths and how can they be applied to the collective efforts of the community? If you are interested in becoming a contributing member of the Sigmanauts Program, there are three categories for you to consider.
Sigmanauts are tasked with improving Ergo in THREE main areas:
¶ 1. GROWTH 🌱 Help bring new people into the community.
◼ Marketing
◼ DevOps
◼ Designers
What skills do you have to assist in growing the community and attracting people of diverse backgrounds and skill sets? Maybe you have marketing expertise and would like to contribute to the promotion of Ergo. Or maybe you have connections to other projects and/or communities that would be interested in what Ergo offers.
¶ 2. COMMUNITY 🌍 Be the backbone of the community.
◼ Ambassadors
◼ Moderators
◼ Translators
There will always be new people coming to the Ergo ecosystem. Who can answer any questions they may have? Who can be a trusted source of information? The ecosystem will always need informed and trustworthy people to develop and maintain a healthy and safe community. As the ecosystem continues to grow, there will also be a continued need for people who can be representatives to new demographics. This category is for those who are interested in being ambassadors, moderators, and/or translators.
¶ 3. CREATIVE 🎨 Get paid for your high quality Ergo content.
◼ Editorial
◼ Artists
◼ Social Media Promoters
Are you a skilled graphic designer, videographer or writer? Do you have social media expertise? If so, there is always a need for creative people with these specialized skill sets. As the Ergo ecosystem grows, there will be a continued need for video tutorials, technical blogs, how-to guides, infographics, etc.
¶ Application Process
SigCAN & Sigmanaut Roles
If this sounds like something you are interested in, there is a formal application process for becoming a Sigmanaut. Once accepted into the Sigmanauts Program, you will be assigned the role of SigCAN (Sigmanaut Candidate), where you will have the opportunity to showcase your skills and talents within a team.
Over time, your role can evolve to become a Sigmanaut, and that comes with a great deal of responsibility. Community members will look to you as a trusted source of information. You will also be responsible for representing the Ergo ecosystem in a manner that upholds the professional standards of the ecosystem and the Ergo Foundation.
¶ Perks
Successful applicants will be awarded:
☑️ Special access to Ergo team & certain Discord groups
☑️ The unique Sigmanaut title/badge to use across socials
☑️ Ability to request payment(s) for their contributions

¶ Responsibilities
The Ergo community consists of people from all over the world, from all walks of life, who have come together to grow and safeguard the future of Ergo. All participants in the community are expected to act lawfully, honestly, ethically, and in the project’s best interest.
Sigmanauts who 1) violate the Ergo Community Code of Conduct, or 2) become generally inactive can be permanently, or temporarily, stripped of their role by Officers and fellow Sigmanauts.
