The calibration and performance of the opposite-side flavour tagging
algorithms used for the measurements of time-dependent asymmetries at the LHCb
experiment are described. The algorithms have been developed using simulated
events and optimized and calibrated with B+ -> J/psi K+, B0 -> J/psi K*0 and B0
-> D*- mu+ nu_mu decay modes with 0.37 fb^-1 of data collected in pp collisions
at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV during the 2011 physics run. The opposite-side tagging power
is determined in the B+ -> J/psi K+ channel to be (2.10 +- 0.08 +- 0.24) %,
where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
