[ "Branding" with logos etc is a part of the second step. ]
then they build an iso image of a installer and test installing their system, making sure it will install.
then they put it out and see what people think, working on updating each package included for next version.
they monitor security issues and put out patches as needed for security fixes.
they monitor dev lists for included packages to put out bugfix patches as needed.
they also put out updates to install new versions of packages included.
