Hello the the ODK family!

I am Justina Oluyemisi Lawal, Ph.D
Based in Nigeria. I work in a research scientist - agricultural socio-
economist.
I got to this forum through curiosity
Though I was introduced to Odk less than a month ago because of an upcoming project I will be involved in. It is entirely new to me!
But I have been trying my hands on it.
I was able to complete an already built in form and send to a server that had been created. But then I wanted to check on the server, what I had set in. How do I check this ànd access the data I had sent to server for analysis????c
Need your help to grow on the use of Odk!

Welcome in the forum @Yemisi24,

This part of the forum is just for new members to introduce themselves. For support, you should put your questions in the Support category of the forum.
I advise you to visit http://docs.opendatakit.org/ to get more information on how to use ODK before even posting a question.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Fran and I am based on the south coast of the UK in Lymington. I am a fisheries consultant and work all over the world, specialising in the management and monitoring of small scale fishing communities. My company is MacAlister Elliott and Partners: http://www.macalister-elliott.com/

I first got involved with the ODK community when I worked with FAO in Sierra Leone, training fishing community members how to collect data on their fish catches, using forms designed with ODK. I have also just returned from Western Ghana, having trained a group of young enumerators to collect fisheries data using mobile phones.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time training at CrossFit (a combination of gymnastics, conditioning and weight lifting) and also love hiking in the hills of the UK, camping and surfing along out south coast.

Happy to be part of this community!

Heya Amazing People!
I'm Srishti from India and am pursuing my major in communication engineering. I also work as the Student Manager with Internshala (world's largest internship platform) and hence I need to maintain a lot of database and circulate various (XLSForm) forms amongst the students. This is how I started to dive deep into the further usage of these forms and how they can be used with ODK Tools. And finally my curiosity lead me to explore the world of open source and Open Data Kit Community.
So, this was my ODK origin story!
Other things that I am passionately involved in are : community building , brand representation and also i have developed a direct digital synthesiser (DDS) using programmable system of chips (PSoC) to make education more accessible to underpriviledged people at very low costs and using very little power in remote areas.
These are the little ways in ehich I have been contributing to the society and ODK's vision inspires me to connect with it and immensely work on mobile data collection because i love to aggregate collected data, play with it and extract it in directly usable formats ! The reason I chose ODK for Outreachy is the fact that you guys have taken up a simple concept and used out-of-box ideas to expand and help in each and every field there is ! This means that I'll get an opportunity to explore, learn and impact extensively (gives me an adrenaline rush)
Hope to work with you and learn numerous exciting things!
Looking forward to connect with you all on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/srishti-gupta-227472118

My name is Busola. I am based in Nigeria. I got to know about the ODK in 2015, while I was doing my masters in Epidemiology. I used it to collect data. Currently, I am serving with an organisation where we need to collect data and I would be very pleased if I can set this up for my organisation. Outside of data collection, I enjoy reading, listening to music and dancing.

Hi every one!!!....

My name is Saahid, I got interested in ODK when I was Surveillance Data Manager and living in Somalia, we were looking for better ways to collect data more efficiently in low bandwidth environments.

ODK-Collect as our mobile data collection tool which have been using since 2015 and introduced by Dr. Jama from Kenya who piloted mobile data collection using ODK for LQAS in Puntland - Somalia.

I've only recently had the opportunity to contribute translation of Somali language for ODK tool.
