Hi everyone. I am Craig Savel, a long time ODK user. I work for the Population Council where I style myself as the resident ODK expert. Based in New York, we've used ODK extensively almost all over the world. I've been lucky enough to go to many of the places we use ODK. Trying to learn more about java so I could eventually even contribute code. It is a great tool and a great group of people.

Hello, my name is Keagan. Am based in Lusaka, Zambia. I was introduced to ODK in 2014 as an Enumerator but I didn't know much about it apart from recording of responses and submitting finalized forms.
Am currently working as M&E Coordinator for World Fish Centre; an international non-profit research organization. I'm very much interested in learning more about ODK tools "in and out". For the past three weeks I have been teaching myself (through using youtube videos) on how to use ODK aggregate and ODK collect, and the training has been good so far. I have since been able to use ODK in mobile data collection in agricultural research.

Hello everyone!

My name is Ajwad Shaikh. I have known ODK for about six months now. I have already started contributing to the Open Source Development for ODK Collect in the past week. But my journey with ODK started a while ago, when I was working on my Summer School Project. I forked ODK Collect and created a new app on top of it to suit the organizational needs. However, I understood that the open source community is an absolute essence of how such high quality code is shared and maintained for free in the era of capitalism.

I decided to contribute to ODK as a part of giving back for how the software and the community helped me during my summer school project.

Thanks again!

Hello Seth.
I come to ODK from 9 years experience with ODOO.
Yeah, it was beginning from prior OpenERP ver5.0.
I believe we can make a server for ODK using odoo. Do you know that odoo give us total control in frontent part? Front end is what being used by odoo modules: Point-of-Sales, eCommerce, Website, Forum, and also the Blog. And in other side, there is backend which is generally known used by Accounting, Project, Sales, Purcase. Beside the two, there are a combination called "portal". So, Sales Portal is actually a odoo's frontend mode of backend module Sales. and so on.
BTW, I am interesting in ODK 2 (survey,tables).
The unique feature of ODK is: each row recognized by identification of UID/GUID; it is very usefull in term of data portability. While Odoo uses only "auto-increment-integer" to identify the row instance. So, that is the challange to solve for integrating ODK + Odoo.
nice to see you here.

Hello...My name is Mwaka Morris From Uganda, am a databases administrator at Makerere DICTS.

I basically got involved with ODK back in 2015 when I was tasked to set up OpenHDS Environment, a complex demographic system that uses ODK to track,monitor and send collected information on the population of Iganga/Mayuge .
I was fascinated at how ODK connects to servers and works with remote databases very easily, this opened up a lot of new possibilities for me especially in the software and database field.

Since then, I have worked with
1.) Ugandan Gov't to monitor NUSAF 3 projects.
2.) HAPANA CREDIT MONKEY to collect data on farmers across Uganda to help them get loans and point out areas they have to improve through a customized dashboard.
3) Iganga/Mayuge DSS that used a legacy software of HRS2 and migrated to OpenHDS with ODK at its core for data collection.
4.) etc

Some of the things I like to do outside ODK is to
1.) Play basketball and video games
2.) Do alot of programming and software development
3.) Traveling and discovering new cultures. (ODK has made me travel a lot to do data collection in remote areas)

Cheers
Mwaka Morris :grinning:

Hi everyone! My name is Faith Washburn; I'm an epidemiology analyst for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. I got involved with ODK when I worked for the CDC in Sierra Leone; we used ODKCollect on Android tablets when we visited health facilities in rural communities to assess their compliance with the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response framework. I'm now using ODK for dispensary premise surveys that we're conducting in Los Angeles County as part of our health impact assessment on cannabis regulation (more details here for the interested: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/chie/reports/Cannabis_HIA_Scope.pdf)
My Twitter handle is @spontanuous - I don't post frequently, and it's a mix of personal and professional, but you're welcome to follow regardless if you'd like! :slight_smile:
One of my favorite non-data things to do is exploring hidden spots, both near home and in different cities when I travel. Atlas Obscura (https://www.atlasobscura.com/) is a great resource for that. I've been to mine ruins, forgotten graveyards, caves, ghost towns - all sorts of fun places!
I'm looking forward to learning from you all.
