Sounds good Adii. WooCamp is looking great. I’ve been away for a few days on a fishing trip. Will keep an eye out for a message.

WooCamp was the overwhelming favourite. You can preview the BETA here now: http://camp.woothemes.com/

@Brad – We’ll be in touch shortly about getting you some freebies!

Adii mentioned the new secondary blog would be more of a content blog, where they will cover a variety of different topics of interest to people that would use their themes. The new blog sounded like it would be a learning resource among other things so the WooCamp/Camp WooThemes seemed fitting.

It’s also a brand that could be extended beyond a blog. Perhaps one day you might attend a WooCamp session at a WordCamp conference.

Thanks for all the comments. And guess what… This is the beauty of democracy… So I guess we’ll make our final decision based on what the votes say.

WooCamp sounds the most familiar, but I agree with Brandan and Prashant.
I vote for WooDoo (sounds like We Do), although it may reflect negative meaning and lead to misspelling.

I like MetaBits and Alchemy the best. “WooCamp” sounds like it should be a conference or convention like WordCamp…

(Think about it, you’re a producer of *WordPress* themes. You don’t want to create unnecessary confusion with WordCamp, do you? It’s only a few letters away…)

‘WooCamp’ sounds good. However, in future, if Woo were to organise offline meetings/events like WordCamp, then what would you call it? So, WooCamp is more apt for an offline meetup?

I like the Camp name too. One thing I’m not sure about: is a Woothemes blog really in the spirit of what a “camp” is all about. A camp is typically an interactive and loosely organized open dialogue type of conference, not affiliated with any one company, but rather with a cause/ open platform/ collective interest group etc. I know a blog is a vehicle for interactive open dialogue, but I’m not quite sure about using the concept for an individual brand.

My vote would be for Tribe – I like the camp concept and Tribe embodies that.

Maybe I’m being pedantic but its a valid point of view – i think Let me know your thoughts.

WooCamp is pretty cool!

@okjedi – Tribe is pretty cool, but it’s the same “message” as WooCamp.

And yeah guys, my vote has also gone for WooCamp, but we’ll wait for more votes before we make a final decision.
