I am from Chile, we are implementing ODK Central, which has allowed us to order the work of small institutions (regarding biodiversity forms and reports), for which we are very grateful.

Hi, Im in Northern Ireland, Im a relative newbie to ODK, and only beginning to get to grips with the power of the platform. Enjoying delving into the brains of the ODK community even when I only understand a wee bit of what's going on.

Good day, dear community.
I am an Agricultural Engineer and PhD in Agricultural Sciences. I studied molecular biology of apomixis and worked in a cattle ranch of 70,000 ha in Argentina. I am currently developing R-based software linked to ODK to collect and analyze big data from the field. I am open to inquiries and concerns and would be very happy to get involved in an international project with some of you.

Hi everyone!
I am Garima Sharma. I am from Nepal. I have been using ODK for over a year now.
I have been enrolled in several projects, where we are configuring and implementing Mobile Health Applications in several locations within Nepal. We have been using ODK as an open-source platform for data collection, creating digital forms and surveys, data analysis, monitoring, and evaluation of health programs.
Looking forward to exchanging different knowledge and ideas through this platform, and learning from them. Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I am Mantue Reeves, Deputy Director-Monitoring and Evaluation with Last Mile Health. I really got to know about ODK in 2013. Liberia is using ODK on so many fronts- Population census, ad-hoc research/surveys for health-related projects, social development, etc. Currently, I support the Liberian Ministry of Health and LMH internal staff to use ODK to collect data for routine monitoring systems, program evaluations, and research studies. Of note, the Ministry of Health uses an ODK-based data collection tool to monitor fidelity to its national community health worker program and is also responsible for providing technical support to the Ministry on designing, modifying, and downloading data from this ODK platform. Though they are some challenges which my membership will benefit a lot from.

Hello world!
I am really excited to have been part of this awesome community since September 2019. I was introduced to ODK in 2015 by Brian Dooley of FHI 360. As a data collector who fell in love with the application then now leads the data collection team for the same project. I have since developed several project data collection tools that have made a significant impact on Ghana's education system. I have no computing science background but love my data, quality data of course. I wish to introduce the larger community out there who are involved in data collection and are still struggling to make headway. Until ODK subsumes the data collection space we still have work to do.
I love to learn new ways of doing things in a simpler form.

Hello all,
My name is Heather and I work for Berkeley Air Monitoring Group, a small consulting firm based in the US that does impact evaluation of household energy projects, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. However, in the last few years we have also begun doing some domestic environmental justice projects.
I have been using ODK since I was first hired in December of 2021 and have quickly learned how useful of a tool it can be. I have built and edited surveys, trained other employees how to build surveys and do work on ODK central, trained field staff how to use ODK collect, and developed multiple ways of analyzing ODK data. In the last 6 months or so I have been using ruODK extensively to seemlessly integrate ODK data into our R based data analysis.
I am excited to join this community, share what I have learned, and continue to learn from others.
I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

Hi All, I am an agronomist working in Mozambique; We use all kinds of digital tools to support farmers, companies and projects, this ranges from soil sensors to satellites. I love mountain biking and generally being outdoors. I have been using ODK for a few years to collect data on a small scale(I luse the ODK/PowerBi combination a lot), we are planning to step it up a notch for farmer registration and registration of delivered trainings on a large scale.
I will start testing and researching coming days basically looking at 1) A farmer registration database using open data kit. and 2) a registration system (also ODK) of trainings provided to the earlier registered farmers. My challenge here is how can we configure the database or data management system of the first form to sync with the second form in realtime, so that ID's or names of newly registered farmers are immediately available for trailing registration. and then case management follow-up per farmer.
Looking forward to diving deeper into unexplored features, and contributing to the ODK community.
Cheers, jelle
