+# Atomic SIG
+
+The purpose of the Atomic SIG is to explore atomic Linux technologies like bootc, to develop a modern AlmaLinux-based immutable desktop system, and to enable others to build upon our tooling. In short, the purpose of this SIG is to expand AlmaLinux's role in the atomic desktop space.
+
+## How to Join
+
+Joining is easy! You can show up to a meeting, pick up an issue from the list by assigning it to yourself, or ask questions in chat! Not every contributor wants to be a part of the SIG, but if you do, joining is simple. 
+
+**Where we chat**
+
+We use [Mattermost](https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/channels/sigatomic) for communication.
+
+**Where and when we meet**
+
+We do not currently hold regular meetings, but work asynchronously in Mattermost to accomplish our goals.
+
+## Activities, projects, and deliverables
+
+* Base desktop bootc image and ISO installer based on [Cloud SIG](https://wiki.almalinux.org/sigs/Cloud.html)'s bootc images starting with AlmaLinux 10.
+* Templates/automation/examples to guide downstream extension/customization of the base image
+* A workstation distribution that is opinionated, modern, and polished, based on the previous deliverables
+
+### Help wanted
+
+Contributions take all kinds of shapes and sizes, and we welcome everyone! If you have expertise or time and would like to help us out, please get in touch!

+## Additional information for SIG application approval

+We hope to be able to start quickly and have at least the base image ready by Q3 2025.
+
+We will require the creation of:
+* An Atomic SIG channel on chat.almalinux.org
+* Several git repositories under an AlmaLinux namespace at GitHub
+* Several OCI repositories under an AlmaLinux namespace at DockerHub and Quay.io
+* (Optional) Access to [openQA](https://openqa.almalinux.org/) to test our images before release
