Overview
Launchpad teams are a great way for people to organise themselves around a particular community or effort.
In Launchpad, teams are very similar to people: you can assign a bug to a team, make a team a bug contact, run a team code branch, publish Ubuntu packages in a team archive and teams can even join other teams. When you join a team, you automatically get access to everything the team can access.
There's also a few things that are unique to teams: mailing lists and mentoring being two of them.
With over 2,000 teams registered in Launchpad, covering activities as diverse as [https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-eo translating Ubuntu into Esperanto] and [https://edge.launchpad.net/~zope3-dev Zope 3 development], there's likely to be something for a community or effort that interests you. However, later on we'll also run through creating your own team.
