Hello,
I'm Jesse in Dallas, Texas, USA. I work at a non-profit that partners with researchers collecting data to measure food insecurity across the local area. The research team selected ODK to gather and build data reports from multiple locations using tablets. In the near future, the responsibility of managing data collection will transition to the non-profit so I'm excited to learn from those who have experience with the product and complimentary software and vendors. I look forward to learning from you all.

Hi,
My name is Matt Weatherford and I work at a social science research center https://csde.washington.edu housed within the college of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA.
I've been a systems guy most of my career, but have a formal Computer Science background. I like to fiddle around with complex hardware and software systems - preferably in interdisciplinary teams of smart people that like to bounce ideas and theories around and think out loud.
Im brand new to the ODK world - my only exposure to it being through a couple of amazing colleagues ( Paul Macharia and Matt Dunbar ) who are working on an in-the-field data collection project in Kenya.
Paul runs ODK servers there and I'll be working on providing a back-up ODK server at the UW to fail over to in case of unforseen issues in-country. I intend to try the gumroot odk OVM virtual machine template - will be importing it in to our VMware ESXi environment.
Im generally a unix person - I started out working on the old SunOS systems back in the 1990's and eventually migrated to Solaris. In 2000 I converted myself to a linux guy and am most familiar with Debian Linux - we run lots of production debian. Latest projects have included cross-institution federated login with shibboleth/incommon, rstudio servers, linux-> google drive integration, and others.
Lastly, it is amazingly great to see all the interesting & world changing work people are doing with the ODK platform - what a force for good!

HI Everyone,
My name is Alemu. I am from Ethiopia working as an ICT and Knowledge Manager for a non-profit research organization called OSSREA (Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa). I learned about ODK from a project here in Ethiopia. The project uses ODK to collect and manage health data. I have been using Kobo for mobile data collection and management. I am currently configuring the ODK platform to collect data for an upcoming project. I can be found on Twitter @cyberalex. I like playing around with infographics, animated videos and mobile application development.
FUN FACTS: Do you know that the only country that has 13 months in its calendar is Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Calendar has 13 months of which 12 months comprise of 30 days each, and a 13th month at the end of the year called the intercalary month usually has 5 days and 6 days in a leap year.
Cheers!!!

Hi people! Diego here, alias Varilla (or Alexander Vari, less know)
Im from Argentina, so, sorry for my bad english. Maybe i write like an illiterate.
I’m 22 years old, and started with the programming and informatic since 2009 (when i had 13 years old). At today, i’m the leader of the developement’s area from one National Council of my country. My superiors gived me the task of collect data for paying social plans around the nation, and i decided to use ODK for that. I came here because i stumbled with a problem of encoding, and @LN was a great help.
I started in the programming with the coded lenguaje called PAWN, which serves for create SA-MP servers. It's a little similar to C++. Since that, i learned HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Linux and differents frameworks, and that's why later i got a good job.
In addition to programming, i love read and write. One of my dreams is to publish a novel in the US. At today i’m reading the second book of Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). It’s awesome.
In my free time, i play the piano (fortunately i have one in my house, thanks grandpa haha) and draw pictures. As well i try to invert time in create some projects, like when i was a boy, but the life os an adult is a little more differente haha
Well, that’s all. Thanks for reading and have a good day!
Regards from Argentina, Diego.
