+
+Over the last few years, we have accumulated a wide range of projects under our
+umbrella. We started out as a Python application (called Home Assistant) and
+later added an operating system (HassOS) and management system (Hass.io Supervisor)
+to it, to allow users to easily manage their homes, but also to provide a
+system that is easy to keep up to date.
+
+These different projects all come together in Hass.io. A system that is secure,
+easy to keep up to date and runs the most powerful home automation platform in
+the world. But having Hass.io and Home Assistant has been confusing for a lot of
+people, especially for newcomers to our great community.
+
+The next step in making Home Assistant simpler is by making our naming simpler.
+It’s our goal to make private home automation accessible to everyone.
+And as part of that, people need to know how to refer to it.
+
+Home Assistant is a home automation operating system for your home.
+And to make this message clear, we’re renaming Hass.io to Home Assistant,
+and Home Assistant to Home Assistant Core.
+
+**Note:** this is only about renaming projects and does not impact any
+functionality of any of the projects.
+
+If you run Home Assistant today in a Docker container or run it inside a Python
+virtual environment, you are running “Home Assistant Core”.
+Home Assistant Core will forever remain a standalone application like it is today.
+We promise.
+
+This name change is a huge thing! Not just a big thing we all need to get used
+to, but even bigger for everything that needs to be renamed! It definitely
+takes a couple of weeks to get the main parts re-branded.
+
+So bear with us while we do so.
+
+Paulus
