[Open-data-census] Status Check: Adding Grenville SC to the Us City Census

Mon Apr 14 16:36:47 UTC 2014

Hi folks,

I just wanted to check on the progress of adding Greenville SC to the US
City Census. I'd love to have the us city census in my back pocket when I
start talking to local policy makers about Open Data and the Code for
Greenville Brigade. The regional comparison with Asheville, Charlotte and
Atlanta is a powerful argument I'd like to bring to bear with the census.

I'm happy to be the point person for the area for the census.

Thanks,
Wryen Meek

Hi Michael and Wryen,

Edits require vetting (to resolve potential disputes between submissions).
I'll check up on Louisville today. We're working out a way to have cities
added, but in the interest of having credible and thorough responses we're
looking for a point person at each location, for example the original round
of cities was based on those who participated in Code Across. I hope that
provides some clarity, we'll have updates on FAQs and how to add cities
soon!

Also, FYI, there isn't currently a US county or state census. We're excited
to see more city benchmarks come in though!
