In the Music biz there are people that go out before the concert and they hang up posters and talk to people about the show. They ware band tee-shirts and and try and raise as much focus and energy to the event as they can . And alot times these crews also do the merchandising for the band also. This is one kinda street teams.

A different Kinda street team is a person/person's that sits outside of a store or anywhere in public and gather signatures to hand off to there local congressman/women/zhe/whatever. There Missions is to gather as many signatures as they possibly can. They also (most of the time) get paid per signature. Like tenth of a US Dollar per signature. This funding is done in a multitude of ways.

You can also see street team's In Las Vegas U.S.A handing out flyers for night clubs and what not. some times you can even see some street team crew members dressed up in a custom waving a sign around trying to attract a customer into there place of business.

So What Does this have to do with Ubuntu ?
