Introduce yourself here!

Hi my name is John

I'm a project manager working for iCAIRD - a healthcare consortium developing AI in radiology and pathology in Scotland.

Keen to use ODK as a tool to help measure time and motion in one of our use cases i.e. effectively to help try to assess the efficacy of the particular solutions being evaluated

Hi everyone
I'm Divine Ibokette, a Forester from Ibesikpo, Uyo in Nigeria.
I'm new here, it was really discouraging scrolling more than a thousand page to write this. But all the same, I'm happy to be here.
I'm currently using ODK for documentation, monitoring and evaluation of farms, farmers data in my community.
T'was really stressing getting down to the page, I'll need to come back again for other extra curricula

Hey Bro, wat's up?
Happy to see you here. How's the community

Hi, i'm a french engineer involved in water and environmental developement projects in Africa, South America and France also. I use ODK since 3 years, i discovered it through a tender and since i'm enthusiastic! I use ODK mostly on agricultural, envronmental and socio-economic studies. I appreciate the possibilities of ODK through the location widgets, and also the power of xlsform language. I have setting-up an ODK Aggregate server but i would like use ODK Central. I hope also some improvements like grid of text or numeric input in XLS Form language.
Congratulation to the developers and the community !

Hey ODK world, my name is Eric and I'm looking to use ODK to cut down on the number of things I need to carry in the field. Currently, my job uses very outdated and inefficient datasheets to record everything we do in the field and I'm really not enjoying having to transcribe 9 years worth of water-damaged, hand-written field notes. My initial google search didn't come up with any useful alternatives until I stumbled onto the ODK page and it's looking like it's got potential!

Hello All!

I am Ali. I am based in Guatemala. The organization where I work needs a "Mobile Data Entry" application and searching through the internet I found ODK. I think I was very lucky to find the project. So, I am just starting to learn about it. I am not very active in social media, but you can find me at @AliAndrettaGT in Twitter.
Some of my hobbies include photography and bread baking.
FUN FACT: I fear roaches!

hello ODK forums world !

I am a serial entrepreneur and activist. I have been using ODK on and off for a few years now. Looking to move to ODK X and also do develop some templates for the organizations I work/volunteer with. Am hitting a few hurdles and thought joining the forum would be a good idea. :crossed_fingers:

Hi,
I'm Timon from the Netherlands, but doing work in Mozambique as part of my phd research on mapping smallholder irrigated agriculture with remote sensing (my project). I have been browsing for apps on which geodata can be collected, including photos and other relevant information (e.g. crop type, harvesting date), for some time before I settled on ODK. I wanted to be able to send people into the field to collect the relevant data, as I'm based in the Netherlands mostly, and in my field visits I cannot collect enough information to make any conclusions etc. The problem with most apps was that data was not sent to a central point, so data collectors would have to manually send me data through email for example, or share some google folder of something.

But this was all on the back burner, until COVID, when I could not make my frequent visit to the field. So just over a month ago I setup an ODK central server through DigitalOcean, made a questionnaire to collect the goedata (polygons and geo-tagged photos), tested it at home and in Mozambique, and hired some field staff to collect the relevant data for me. The server is perfect for my project, as all the relevant data can be downloaded to R, and I can automate my whole workflow. The next step would be training machine learning models with this data, which is why the automation is a big plus.

I have not contributed to any code yet, but I've contacted @Florian_May from ruODK on mapping the geodata that comes into R from the server.

I hope to scale up the above workflow for the data collection next year, as this year I was a bit too late (end of irrigation season).
