Teams are about mutual support - some teams are very large, others really are one man bands. (How you can have a team of one is beyond me.)
Some teams are multi-national, drawing from all over the World with some common aim or focus, be it a wild animal (like the Raccoon Lovers), or the use of particular hardware (like the GPUUG).
For a few years I didn't want to join a team, but then someone I know started one, and I joined it almost as soon as it was formed. I've stayed because of the friendly rivalry, and banter....
Join Raccoon Lovers and enjoy being part of a slightly off the wall, but very supportive team.

Hi!

Why to join? Bacause it is fun and a little competition between groups could motivate others to join.

We are based in Chile, and we are a small but healthy team. We are looking for new members, either in Chile or elsewere in the Universe...

I guess teams is some sort of 'Gamefication'. This encourages contributors and gives them some sort of belonging.
