And we roll on with the Roll Call Project. Not much interest this time, I see. Oh well, no problem. Whomever participates in the project will be added with previous results and added to the Kospedia.
For those who are unaware, the Roll Call Project serves as the "official" Daily Kos census of its members, 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 and grow expondentially. Old members leave, new members join. I first did the Roll Call Project back in the Spring of 2004, when the site had maybe 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.
Here are the regions:
Today we will cover two more regions to make this go by quicker. Those regions are the South and Mid-South, and the Rust Belt states. The South and Mid-South include Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The Rust Belt (in my mind) includes Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois.
If you don't live in these states or areas, please refrain from posting a comment today. Don't worry, your day will come:
