By my count, the vote is 5 for #evgils and 7 (8 if you count someone on twitter) for #egils as a preferred hashtag for Evergreen.
Anyone else want to chime in or throw a wrench in the works? Nothing is set in stone obviously since we have no way to actually make it official but to ensure we COULD use egils, I registered it at twubs.com. More opinions please!
