The new Launchpad team is ready

I'm just going to throw in my two cents and observations over the years of
the Ubuntu Community and say
1. I think Randall should have got consensus before doing this as Nathan
2. I agree with all others I think this will become unused and every
launchpad team created does have a cost for Canonical
so unused ones are just a waste of resources
3. Ubuntu like many other open source projects has a problem with splitting
resources as Jose points out
and having way too many channels of communication and repos. This makes it
harder for new contributors
and creates a barrier to participation.


In fact the mailing list itself really achieved what other mailing lists
had:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-community-team/2014-September/000000.html

Remember Ubuntu Leaders? Nearly same focus
Remember locos? nearly same focus

See where the wheel is being reinvented? Don't worry lots of projects
do this too.
