I'd run spellcheck through it, right off the bat noticed "tranlations
or writing docuemenation" - two spelling issues right there :)

"It can be done via Upstream or via work within the Ubuntu Community"

I'd make clear that even upstream contributions need to have an Ubuntu
Community component. Even the most accomplished Firefox contributor
isn't automatically an Ubuntu Member unless they've engaged with the
Ubuntu community in some capacity.

"Gendi.net" - Gandi.net

"The best practices at recognizing contributions from others" - I
imagine you were looking to flesh this one out? Some recommendations:

 - Give public thanks (on social media, blog posts, during meetings)
for work completed
 - Share work completed by other contributors (even if you weren't
involved, a retweet/share goes a long way to showing people their work
is appreciated)
 - Submit announcements/posts of good work in the community you find
to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter so it can be shared with the broader
community
 - Write a testimonial when they go for Membership

"It almost will be this form" - I think you can just drop "almost" here.

" There is a ??? day deadline" It's 7 days.

Hope this helps!
