[ubuntu-us-mi] Approval Date Set!

[Greg Grossmeier]

You're basically right.  This approval means we are an "official loco
team" in the eyes of Canonical.

The tangible thing that changes with approved status is we can get
larger orders of CDs and also other goodies from Canonical (like a big
banner for a booth).

Intangibly we get more "cred."  By that I mean if we need to work with
any organizations we can tell them that we are an officially
recognized team etc which might help reassure them of our
professionalism.

Hope that helps,

greg
