"Weave Flux" (or just "Flux") is the GitOps Kubernetes Operator: it automatically ensures that the state of a cluster matches the config in git and images are upgraded automatically. Flux uses an operator in the cluster to trigger deployments inside Kubernetes. It supports Helm as well, with a subproject called the "Helm operator".
Weaveworks started the project in July 2016 and is receiving more and more contributions from a growing community. The team of maintainers is very active and made up from people from different companies.

Peter Bourgon (ex-Weaveworks) and Michael Bridgen (Weaveworks) were the initial committers. Michael is still at the helm as the lead maintainer today.
There are no infrastructure requests; Flux drives CI and releases using CircleCI, which is adequate at present.
Development discussion is principally via public mailing list and Slack channel (and GitHub issues/PRs). The project README enumerates the user support channels.
In the GitHub project.
None at present; documentation is in markdown format in the GitHub repo.
Container images and executables for releases are built in CI. The process of preparing a release is explained here.
None.
Flux has 1967 stars on Github, 530 people on Slack. The project counts 90 individual committers up until now with a lot of drive-by contributions, and a few quite experienced project contributors who are working on Flux on an ongoing basis.
The Helm side of things gets a lot of attention.
This recent blog post about Flux activity in the past year might give a good sense of activity.
Flux does not have an official logo.
