[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Hashtag

[Amy Terlaga]

On this:

 

>I'm assuming for this year's conference we'll use #evg11,

 

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).
