It’s easy to get a bunch of techies uniting on tags but the herd of cats that is FGC Gathering committees?? (I mean that nicely: I’m a cat person!).
I’ll ask around about putting a little blurb in the daily Gathering bulletin. Why not? It’s kind of sobering to see that even with “ntc06’s” imprimatur and consensus they only got five bloggers and four Flikr posters to use the tag. This is perhaps more of a neat idea than a socially-workable reality.

And, while I understand your caution about speaking on behalf of FGC, I think that for tagging to really be effective, there has to be some consensus-building and/or decreeing of appropriate tags. Nonprofit tech groups (among others, I’m sure — I’m just aware of those) are already doing this — the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network promoted the ntc06 tag for this year’s conference, and you can see the results on Technorati and Flickr. Similarly the net2 tag from the NetSquared conference that TechSoup just put on. Most of these also carry the widely used nptech tag that nonprofit technologists have adopted more organically.
So if there’s still a daily Gathering newsletter, write about your intention there! I bet there are more Friends engaging in taggable activity than one might initially think.
Cheers,
Thomas
