Hi,

syslog-ng as an open source project has long been supported and sponsored by a company called Balabit (which I personally was the founder of), hence syslog-ng related online resources like the github project was published under github.com/balabit. Since Balabit was acquired last January by One Identity (www.oneidentity.com), going forward, the Balabit branding is not the right one for the syslog-ng project.

Since the acquisition, all on-line syslog-ng presence was concentrated under the "syslog-ng" brand. An example for this is the website, which is now at www.syslog-ng.com. In a similar way, developer and open source related resources should follow suit.

Our plan is to use "syslog-ng" everywhere where we were using "balabit". This includes github, dockerhub, gitter, slack, mailing list etc.

We expect that the transition will take time, and that old links, chat rooms, docker images will work for a time yet, redirects will be there for those of us still using the old links. However it is a good idea to update bookmarks & git remotes that this will work on the long run.

Over time, the name "Balabit" will fade a bit, at least within the syslog-ng community, but that's good. That's progress.

Cheers,

Bazsi
