Boulder? I understand all the other choices but didn't realize Boulder was such a hotbed of developers. Is it? (If you're taking votes, Los Angeles seems a significant omission at this stage.)

Perhaps not in total population but Boulder definitely has a solid startup presence, relatively speaking (SimpleGeo, OneRiot, TechStars, ...).
update: But certainly, LA and Chicago (mentioned elsewhere) are good additions.

#15So, evidently, it doesn't do any proximity analysis. I listed my location as "Limerick, PA, US", which is outside Philadelphia. It'd be interesting to add that capability.

#16Well, my 'city' is not shown, but I think the answer is almost certainly yes since I doubt 10 people here have github accounts. It would be nice to be proved wrong about that.

Totally, I would love it add that. I actually have all PA data already.

Hmm... just glancing at the most-watched & most-forked totals, Boulder is ahead of both Atlanta and Houston -- for what it's worth (not much).
Besides startups the other replier mentioned, there's also a lot of bigger software-centric & tech companies here for a city this size. (IBM, Su--Oracle, Rally, Vexcel (now Microsoft), Rational (now IBM), Google...)

Boulder has a ton of developers, and really active communities in Ruby, Python and startups. Coffee shops and restaurants downtown at lunch time are a lot like ones in SOMA in SF: there's several tables' worth of nerds sitting around talking software or startups.

#20Sadly its not "in your city" but "in twelve US cities." I was really hoping that I could see if there were even other people who used Git in New Hampshire and how prominent they were.
True, I would love to expand. But within github api limit I'm limited to what cities I can pick. Maybe NH would come next :)
You could let users enter their a city and fetch the data locally via javascript. That way, the usage counts against their IP's API limit, not yours.
Edit: To be more clear, this would only work for showing the data to the user that requests it, not sending it back to the server for other users to see.
