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, place a team in a bug contact role, run a team code branch, publish Ubuntu packages in a team archive and teams can even join other teams.
When you join one, you automatically get access to everything the team can access.
