Launchpad is a tool for collaboration between different projects. It makes it easier for people who work on a variety of free software projects, in particular, to share information about bugs, features and translations. Launchpad is used by Ubuntu and other distributions for bug tracking, translations and release feature planning. It is also used by "upstream" projects in the same way, and it makes collaborating between all these projects very easy. Launchpad is an open source suite of tools that help people and teams to work together on software projects. [[https://launchpad.net/+tour|See the tour]] for an introduction to what you can do with Launchpad.
