Hi All, I am based in Monrovia, Liberia now supporting my organization with impact evaluation. I learnt about this platform from [xlsform.org](http://xlsform.org). I want to build my ODK skill to expert level both for personal and professional development. I would appreciate an ODK coach to guide and challenge me so send me a message if that person is you. Fun things i do outside work is sing and experience new environments. Happy to be here! ---

Hello Everybody! My name is Robson Vieira and I'm running my own IT consulting company here in Brazil. I've got to know ODK Collect and ODK Aggregate a while ago in the days of Professor Gaetano and love it since then. As I started using ODK again in a digitalization project at the Amazonia (community-based açaí producers in State of Amapá / Brazil) I got to know ODK Central and it was a great and exciting surprise to see how much the Project has evolved throught the years. As I noticed that there wasn't a portuguese translation of Central I jump in to the translation effort and just finished what I call it's draft version. Anyone who speaks portuguese is most welcome to join the team and give a hand to create a final and accurate portuguese interface for Central :)) I also spend some of my non-office hours playing guitar and singing in a rock band 😉 ---

Hi everyone! My name is Laure, I'm a Research Fellow based in the greater Seattle area, but doing field work in The Gambia and the US. I've been using ODK for about a year, we are building a series of questionnaires for a social science research project across 5 countries and something like 35 interviewers. We collaborated with someone to develop the first version and now we are implementing and tweaking on our own. The forum has been super helpful to learn about ODK and its capabilities (which never cease to surprise me in terms of their flexibility!). I love that it integrates well with R and that I can build data pulls directly into my analysis workflow. I can be found @LSpake\_Anthro on Twitter and @lolosp on GitHub I spend my spare time outdoors, and preferably in the mountains! ---

Hi all. I am a Senior Lecturer are the University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa. My students, collaborators and I study snake ecology, evolution and conservation (check out [maritzlab.com](http://maritzlab.com) to see the kind of work we do). Unfortunately I have very little coding experience, so I have mostly been reading this forum to try and troubleshoot (somewhat unsuccessfully) the basic development of a tool in ODK to quantify patterns of snake activity. Currently, ODK seems promising, but some of the tools I need seem to be somewhat inaccessible to us coding-challenged folks. Bryan ---

I visit this forum frequently to learn new things about ODK especially the new features of XLSForm. I am really happy to be part of this great forum. ---
