It seems appropriate to vote on the Project Atomic logo on this ML,
but the Fedora Atomic things should go through Fedora processes. Maybe
one of the monday atomic community meetings would be the best place to
discuss this, vs one of the wed meetings, which are about feodra.

Generally speaking, I'm a big supporter of "if it didn't happen on the mailing list, it didn't happen." Votes during real-time meetings usually mean someone is being excluded by default because of time zones, overlapping commitments, etc. And yes, anything Fedora should happen through regular Fedora processes. 

 

It's always been a bit confusing, but Project Atomic proper was
explicitly chartered *not* to distribute an OS, for reasons I don't
think I ever fully understood. But it's always been the Fedora and
CentOS projects (and Red Hat, for RHEL Atomic Host) that have
distributed the actual atomic hosts. Maybe Joe Brockmeier can help
fill in more original context around this.

I don't think we were chartered to *not to distribute* an OS, but the idea was explicitly to avoid creating a 4th OS that would be independent of RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS. 

That said, despite the growing pains, I think it made more sense to have a Fedora-based AH distributed by Fedora, and a CentOS-based one distributed by CentOS - though there were certainly times when I would have liked to have just set up a build host + downloads independently rather than the work that was required to do so through the other projects...
