The Roll Call Project returns. The project serves as a census of Kossacks in a particular area, and it can be used as a resource for those planning Kossian Meetups or Happy Hours.
This census must be performed every few months since this community continues to evolve. Old members leave, new members join. I first did the Roll Call Project back in the Spring of 2004, when the site had approximately 10,000 members. I did minor updates in August and September. But we are long overdue for a whole new census, since we are rapidly Daily Kos member 40,000.
Here is how it will work, every day for the next couple of weeks, I will post a region. If you are from that region, please feel free to post a comment and state how often you read and post on Daily Kos, along with any additional information about yourself that you wish to add. And then recommend the diary so that other Kossacks from your region have a chance to post a comment.
Old timers' note: When I first posted started this Roll Call Project, there were only 10 diaries an hour, and the diary stayed on the page all morning or afternoon long if you had your page set to show 50 diaries. Now, the diary would be gone in an hour, even if you had your page set to show 50 diaries. That is why it is important to recommend each day's diary so that everyone will have a chance to catch it. But I digress.
Here are the regions:
