Overview
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 [:Teams/CreatingAndJoining:creating your own team].
Learning more about a team
Let's take a look at Ubuntu's [https://launchpad.net/~5-a-day 5 A Day] team.

Ubuntu's 5 A Day team |
Straight away, you can see what this team's all about: each member agrees to solve five Ubuntu bugs per day. There's also a team logo - just like the [:YourAccount/Branding:mugshot] on your own profile page - and a summary of its membership and contact details.

The 5 A Day team's summary |
You can also see the team's icon. When you join a team, this shows up on your profile page, giving another clue to other people about the sort of work you do in Launchpad.
Membership policies
The 5 A Day team has an open membership policy but that's just one of three policies Daniel, its creator, could have chosen:
Open: anyone can join.
Moderated: a team administrator must approve membership applications.
Restricted: you can't apply to join, only the team's administrators can add new members.
If a team is open or moderated, you can sign up using the Join this team button. When you apply to join, Launchpad will email you and the team's administrators. If it's a moderated team, you'll also receive a second email once the administrators have chosen to accept or decline your application.
= Seeing who is in a team =
You can take a look at who has already joined a team by viewing its membership list. This can be useful if you need to contact one of the team's administrators.
