The Bro network security monitoring project has announceda name change to "Zeek". "On the Leadership Team of the Bro Project,we heard clear concerns from the Bro community that the name 'Bro' hastaken on strongly negative connotations, such as 'Bro culture'. These senda sharp, anti-inclusive - and wholly unintended and undesirable - messageto those who might use Bro. The problems were significant enough thatduring BroCon community sessions, several people have mentioned substantialdifficulties in getting their upper management to even consider usingopen-source software with such a seemingly ill-chosen, off-puttingname."
