Yup, that's right, the original cities list was just those participating in the specific Code Across 2014 event. We'll have updates soon.

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.
