The project announced that it is changing its name this fall. We are still in the process of doing this.

See [http://blog.bro.org/2017/10/a-new-name-for-bro-project.html](http://blog.bro.org/2017/10/a-new-name-for-bro-project.html)

There was also a note in early January noting that the project was seeking outside help from a branding firm, and so there are delays to the original schedule. That was on the main Bro list.
