In section 4:

Choose a name for your workshop website repository. This name should have the form YYYY-MM-DD-site, e.g., 2016-12-01-oomza, where YYYY-MM-DD is the start date of the workshop. If your workshop is held online, then the respository name should have -online in the end. e.g., 2016-12-01-oomza-online: oomza.

there is no reference as to what oomza is and it is likely that this is a carry over from the writers course. I found it confusing however, and suggest it be removed from the repo name.

The choice of Oomza was made in #728 as an example of a fictional university (changed from Miskatonic) so that we can demonstrate what site would look like in the context of the slug. The choice to use a fictional university is a deliberate one; it avoids any perceived bias that would occur if we were to use something like "Ewha University", "De Anza College", or "MSF Amsterdam".

Perhaps this edit would help clarify:
