Our new blockbuster theme Builder Theme is coming out Dec. 16 and today we did a live demo webinar with over 100 of our customers.

Just released a new video at iThemes about what we’re doing …

Here are the links to the three things I talk about in this segment of iThemesTV:

• Builder Theme
• iThemes WordPress Theme Bootcamp Jan. 29-30
• WebDesign.com University

The iThemes team is putting on our first roadshow — a 2-day intense workshop called the iThemes WordPress Theme Bootcamp in Dallas, Jan. 29-30, 2010.

You won’t want to miss it! It’s first-come, first-serve and we only have room for 50 people.

We just got a super cool studio setup in our office and have been working on audio and video for our upcoming launch of WebDesign.com University and we recorded two videos today.

This one is our Happy Thanksgiving one (bloopers at the end) ….

This one is a teaser video about our upcoming blockbuster theme that we’ve been calling Builder since April when it was started ….

The iThemes team has been on two roadtrips and every time it’s a blast. I’m very thankful to be a part of and lead a passionate team of people who love what they do and enjoy life together!

This latest trip was to Dallas WordCamp 2009. Chris Jean and I have been twice now. It was my fourth WordCamp and it’s always great to meet new people and deepen relationships with existing ones.

We took our OKC staff, including Matt Danner (aka Hiccup aka Twitter-er Extraordinaire aka The Newlywed), Chris Jean (manning the Genius Bar), James Dalman (aka Designated Troublemaker) … and met our new sales consultant for WebDesign.com, and iThemes customer, Bryce Raley.

Here are some fun pics that show how truly goofy we are:

Over at the iThemes blog, I just announced we’ve made the decision to switch our licensing model to the same one that WordPress is released under – GPL.

I say this a lot: I love open source. I love WordPress and am thankful for the open source contributions over the years that have helped make it the best online software for managing blogs and websites.

I’ve always sincerely meant and believed that …

But now … we’re putting our money where our mouth is …. and aligning ourselves with WP and open source philosophy.

Go read our post on it and make a comment there: iThemes is going GPL.
