Hola everyone, I'm Carlos from #Nicaragua but I kind of move around Central America. I got into ODK a few years by now because my work relates to maps and field data collection for disaster risk management and food security analysis... also for tourism, in fact the first time I've ever use ODK was for a tourism routes study.
@carlosgis is my Twitter account is dedicated to GIS, Climate Change, Tourism and some other things I like such as basketball, baseball and food!
Fun fact, I spent about two years working for an NGO in data collection tool using Personal Data Assistant (PDA), two years! With ODK this is reduced to days.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Best regards
Carlos Rivas

Hello! I’m Debra. I am a writer and editor focusing on a transition into tech. I was looking for ways to contribute to an open-source project and heard this was a great place to start. I’m excited to have been pointed in the direction of ODK and so far have been really impressed with its impact in far reaches of the world. I can’t wait to get to work!
About me: I’m a first-generation Jewish American (U.S.) with parents from Cuba 
and Argentina 
. I am interested in the intersection of politics and religion and (most importantly) fostering an appreciation for the beautiful mosaic that makes up this place we call earth 
. I live in California in the SF Bay Area with my husband and two daughters. I want to create a sustainable homestead where I can build cool things with welders and turbines and live off the land.

Hello everyone!
I'm a forestry engineer in Rouen (France) and I'm working on a form to collect data on forest' soil properties. I'm not used to this kind of tools but ODK would really help the forest managers to collect data easier directly on their smartphone.
Thanks

Hi everyone!
I am currently an Impact Researcher at a renewable energy company in the south of India. I must add that I am an engineer by experience and fairly new to the social impact evaluation scene. But it's been a great ride so far.
I'm working with ODK 2.0 to deploy a household survey. This is also my first real ODK project.
I study machine learning on the side (a little late to the party) and recently learned that I enjoy teaching.
You can get in touch with me on - satish.ravishankar@gmail.com
Looking forward to figuring this all out!
Cheers.

Hi! I'm Godfrey Kassano from Dar es salaam Tanzania. I've been following ODK with interest since 2017 when I started working with Humanitarian OpenstreetMap Team (HOT) in different projects including Ramani Huria and others. Since then, I've been using ODK in various projects involving data collection.
I'm interested in knowing a lot concerning ODK since it has been part of my life since I use it frequently in my dairy activities.
