Hi everyone,
I promise that this weekend I will update the 'bc' repo to say 'workshop' everywhere, because (a) the people who care prefer the word, and (b) the spelling is less contentious (unless someone in the UK tells me it's "wourkshop", in which case I'll start crying).
Cheers,
Greg

Hi folks,

A few months ago I was corrected from "boot camp" to "bootcamp" [1] when blogging about a "boot camp". I pushed the fused update and discussion moved onto how there was a push towards "workshop" [2][3][4]. I mentioned this intent to colleagues and since then have had a number of people point out to me every time the term "bootcamp" is still used, as it is, predominantly. So what is the currently preferred term? As, for now, 'd prefer to continue with "bootcamp" for consistency's sake and a quiet life ;-)

thanks,
mike
