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 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.

I am Arif Azad Khan based in Bangladesh. I came to know ODK back 2014 when I joined mPower Social Enterprises Ltd. since then I am fan of this tool. My first post in this forum (back then Google Groups) was in 2014 which got quick reply by Yaw Anokwa. Instantly I found it’s a great place to learn and contribute. 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.

Hello everyone:
My name is Mauricio Arciniegas, I like running and cycling.
I am a medical physicist living in Bogotá D.C., Colombia. I got involved some time ago with ODK looking for tools that would allow me to collect, preserve and make available for analysis my data in the area of radiation protection in a reliable way. I am currently developing projects focused on improving workflows in this area through ODK.
I have been impressed by ODK's progress over time. I thank the core team for the development of such an extraordinary tool and the community for their support in troubleshooting.

Hi ODK Community!
My name is Rita. I have been programming in SurveyCTO for 7 years now but have never used ODK before. A project I am going to support wants to use ODK so I am taking this opportunity to learn how ODK is different from SurveyCTO.
I am trying to install a Central Server using DigitalOcean and running into an issue. I have read through what seems like relevant posts but am still stuck. Honestly, I am a total newbie to server configuration stuff.
Anyhow, I will try to post my question in a more relevant location. For now, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jon. I'm a Sr. Software Developer at Food for the Hungry, a humanitarian aid and relief organization that works in about 13 countries around the world in the hardest to reach areas. I don't know much about ODK, but our field staff use it to collect monitoring and evaluation data so that we can have an end-to-end understanding of our global impact. I maintain an ODK Central virtual machine for those staff, and we are planning an upgrade. The previous maintainer moved on from our company, so I'm new to this software.
I appreciate this community and look forward to talking with you all.
