Approval Application for Polish Team (ubuntu-pl)

The Polish Team can be currently seen as not very active. Reasons of this situation were sent by email to Nick Ali & loco-council and will not be discussed here because of privacy reasons. Most of the time we are organizing events as part of Polish Linux Users Group (or it's divisions - like Cracow Linux Users Group and others). We are doing this to avoid duplicate efforts and to integrate the Linux community further instead of dividing it because of the distros used by users.
