Approval Application for Catalan LoCo Team (ubuntu-cat)

The Ubuntu Catalan LoCo Team is a very active, fast growing, group that gives support to, and spreads Ubuntu among the Catalan speakers community, and it is the most important information resource about Ubuntu in its own language. We are a very heterogeneus and varied group of people, but we all are focused on spreading the open source software philosophy, centered on Ubuntu, and have several projects in mind that the different workgroups are working on.
