Hi Greg,
Thanks! (but I anticipate questions along the lines of "why aren't
they called bootcamps any more ;-) )
cheers,

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
