Lori, I agree that egils just sounds/looks better than evgils.  egils++ Grace On 3/16/11 3:13 PM, Lori Bowen Ayre wrote: I like egils better than evgils.  evgils looks too much like evil....whereas egils makes me think more about equality and other lofty things.  And egils is short.  And it will go nicely with the egconf11 hashtag. Can I get some feedback on #egils?

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).     +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Amy Terlaga Assistant Director, User Services Bibliomation, Inc. 32 Crest Road Middlebury, CT  06762 www.biblio.org   -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant The Galecia Group // www.galecia.com (707) 763-6869 // lori.a...@galecia.com Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering,  workflow optimization, and materials handling  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Grace Dunbar COO Equinox Software, Inc. gdun...@esilibrary.com 1-877-OPEN-ILS x5579 www.esilibrary.com
