Introduce yourself here!

Hi everyone,

I am Udochukwu from Nigeria. My first contact with ODK was in the course of planning a cumbersome survey which would have cost lots of paper and time for data entry, so I started my search for a digital option and found ODK which changed my life and career. I have been using ODk for a few years now and also mWater.

I work with Nonprofits as an M&E, so I use ODK daily but would definitely love to learn more.

A big Thank you to the developers and team

Hi, I am Dinesh Raj, PhD Public Health Research Scholar from the Department of Neonatology. I am aware of ODK from 2010 however, I started to use it only for a year now. I use ODK for retrospective data collection, and I am planning to use it in field to collect data on Pregnant women and neonates.

Though I not qualified to be a coder, I love to be one. During my free time, I search and research on best language to start with android app development and learn from free stuff.

Kia ora koutou, hello everyone. My name is Wiki Hamilton. I currently live in Mindanao, Philippines. I was introduced to ODK by the NGO that I volunteer with, here in South Cotabato. I am very new to ODK and my IT knowledge is low because I am a dino-tech, however I am creating forms from scratch to assist in the ARH Adolescent Reproductive Health project I am involved with. I love reading and I'm currently rereading Bhagavad Gita trans by Stephen Mitchell. Life Fact: Life begins when you stand up, it can happen at any age or not at all (from this dino-tech)

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!
