This is great news. We are using Launchpad as a team management tool 
while leading the ubuntu-co (Colombian) team. I would like to be part of 
that panel.

Is it possible to also invite one of my team members as a user (as 
opposed to owner/admin) of Launchpad in this panel ?

Right now, personal tracking of activity, membership approval for our 
loco team.

Its tracking of activity and Kharma. That's how I define launchpad, as a 
tool to measure participation. I also like the OpenPGP integration, 
although I'd like to see it used in more ways.

There's not much I don't like :) but a lot I would like to see improved. 
Lots of it is described in specifications. I 'd suggest looking at 
current specs related to launchpad.

So #1 for me would be the ability for the launchpad registered users 
that are Ubuntu members to be able to vote for specs:

My holiday shopping list would look like this (URLs at the end of this 
email):
- Launchpad in spanish and french (for me) but also other languages[1], 
perhaps most importantly the login workflow but also the support 
tracker/requests, Code of Conduct [2], [3], [8]
- A clear process to submit bugs / requests for enhancements so they 
don't take ages to be adressed. Historically, non-critical bugs and 
feature requests are very low priority but they affect greatly how team 
leaders may manage their team effectively.
- localizable templates for email notification when membership of a team 
is accepted/refused.
- ability to restrict some activities ( poll-voting ) to members only - 
https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/76620
- Another column in the members report to see who has signed the CoC - 
see https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/74667
- RSS feeds/API access to different information: bug reports by 
team/member, translations by team/member, historic data... stuff that we 
can use to tell people what is going on in  a team using plain cold 
numbers (and links). The spec at [5] is private, apparently. [5][9]
- Hooks to other systems to measure participation and get notification: 
forums, IRC, Wiki(s), blogs. Not sure how to go about this, just an 
idea. Perhaps this is best explained in the "Unifying LoCo Team 
Resources" spec [6][7][10][11]
