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<http://twubs.com>. More opinions please! I have almost always seen others shorten Evergreen to EG, with very few exceptions (only one I can think of before this thread started). The "v", in the rare cases I've seen it use, has always put me off and caused a mental stumble because if its rarity. At least in the EG (heh) dev community, "eg" has 6 years of history and precedent, so I'm strongly in favor of that. --miker Lori On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 11:55 AM, Deborah Lipoma <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I prefer #egils also. In fact, I'm starting to abbreviate my referrals to Evergreen as just EG.

It's shortest and easier to say (for those of us who remember hashtags by their sound).

And egils is short. And it will go nicely with the egconf11 hashtag. Can I get some feedback on #egils?

Tried evg11 and so many variations on it, it made me dizzy. Finally found success with egconf11. Not the best, but trust me - so many other combinations ended in failure. And by the way, the Grand Rapids conference crew transferred the Twitter account over to us, including all those users who had signed up to follow the 2010 conference. We've posted here and there and there's a feed on the front page of the conference website so sign up: egconf11 We'll post more frequently as we inch ever closer to the April conference.

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). +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Amy Terlaga Assistant Director, User Services Bibliomation, Inc. 32 Crest Road Middlebury, CT 06762 www.biblio.org<http://www.biblio.org> -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant The Galecia Group // www.galecia.com<http://www.galecia.com/> (707) 763-6869<tel:%28707%29%20763-6869> // [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- [cid:[email protected]] -- Deborah Lipoma Librarian, Library IT Santa Cruz Public Libraries 224 Church St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-427-7707<tel:831-427-7707> ext. 7755 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant The Galecia Group // www.galecia.com<http://www.galecia.com/> (707) 763-6869<tel:%28707%29%20763-6869> // [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Mike Rylander | VP, Research and Design | Equinox Software, Inc. / Your Library's Guide to Open Source | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
