Thanks for bringing this to the list, Lori! On twitter, I've found that #evergreen by itself isn't distinct enough, and #evgils has worked well (and is patterned off of #kohails).
I'd be open to #evergreenoss or #evergreenils, but they are very long in the 140 character world. #openils works, but is it too broad (without the context of the history of Evergreen's name, this could easily apply to any open source ILS, which is fine, but is that what we're going for in our common-law marriage hashtag)? I'm assuming for this year's conference we'll use #evg11, which brings up another argument for extreme brevity. Conferences are often when folks want to add more than one hashtag to an update. I'm thinking of sessions at ALA like Top Tech Trends, which usually has its own hashtag, along with the conference hashtag and sometimes, just for fun, a LITA hashtag. It can leave very little room to actually say anything about the session! I'd vote for #evgils or #openils (or if you have room, both).

If one doesn't exist yet, I'd like to establish one. Koha is using kohails. Maybe evergreenils? Or eg-ils or egils or....... any thoughts?
