Rename

[ypriverol]

Hi all: As I propose before I would like to re-brand BioDcoker to BioContainers and these two main reasons:

• BioDcoker is fully attached with docker technologies when containers is a more broadly technology including everything that can be packages or distributed using containers. The best example is rkt https://coreos.com/rkt/docs/latest/rkt-vs-other-projects.html.
• BioDocker limited the contribution of other initiatives like mulled or conda packages to the community because they are not only docker based as I said in the first point.

Please if any of you has complains or opinion about that is this the moment to give your opinion: @bgruening @sauloal @lgatto @julianu @hroest @timosachsenberg @prvst @avilella @hbarsnes @pcm32 @rajido @r78v10a07 @BioDocker/contributors

Please if you are agree let me know and I can start the migration process.

I agree

there is also a legal reason: Since docker is a protected trademark, the company may start suing people that use docker in their name (it seems ok as our project does not start with docker):

it is never really, really safe to use a trademarked name :-(

@BioDocker/contributors @BioDocker/owners Because more less everyone has agree to change the name I will close this issue and start the transition.
