There are more than 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]], to simple groups such as [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-users|Ubuntu Users]] and [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-loco-enthusiasts|Ubuntu LoCo Enthusiasts]].

Joining a team puts you in contact with others working towards a similar goal and gives you access to shared team resources. All you need to join most teams is an interest in the work they do.

The Ubuntu Colorado team has an open membership policy but that's just one of three policies its creator could have chosen:

 * '''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 the team``` link in the ''Membership'' section. When you apply to join, Launchpad will email you and the team's administrators.

If it is a moderated team, you'll also receive a second email once the administrators have chosen to accept or decline your application.
