From a branding perspective, I think #opendataday i= s a better hash tag because it's less cryptic to outsiders. =A0I know w= e also plan to use #codeacross to connect with CfA's Code Across= America events.

Thoughts from others on the list are welcome.

We noticed that there are different op= inions about the right Twitter hashtag to be used re Open Data Day and thin= k that would be great if could all agree on the same one (and tweet massive= ly!)

Instead of using=A0acronyms which might be a bit too tr= icky to remember, how about going for #opendataday? Easy to remember= and everybody (even people who don't know about the event) would under= stand what we're talking about (and learn about it from your tweet!).
