06-28 is TauDay, a day devoted to the 1 true CircleConstant (the 1st 3 digits of the decimal representation of Tau (τ) is 6.28).
I shall tie this to Electoral Mathematics:
An HalfTauist tried to argue that Tau (τ) is not as good as Half Tau with me. I mopped the floor with him. The only argument which held water is that τ collides with other uses of τ (unfortunately, collisions are unavoidable). Still, it might be better to choose a symbol for c/r with fewer collisions. This is how I would do it:
# 0. Nominate alternative symbols, which are already part of the UnicodeStandard.
# 1. Have a score election with values from -9 to +9, skipping over 0, thus forcing Mathematicians to come down 1 way or another.
# 2. Sum the votes.
# 3. Remove all symbols with negative totals
# 4. Have a ScoreVote runoff of the symbols with positive scores
# 5. Have the top-2 candidates have a plurality runoff
# 6. Have the winner go up against τ in a plurality runoff.
# 7. If the new symbol wins, we adopt the new symbol.
