I will throw in for #egils.

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!


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.

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

I like egils better than evgils.  evgils looks too much like evilwhereas 
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?

Nope, no can do.  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.

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).
