(I got some encouragement earlier to post pics on Slack and now I’m unstoppable.)
I’m excited to say that I’ve been invited to join the ODK team! I’ve been getting involved with supporting development and maintenance of the Enketo projects and already have some big ideas for how we can help improve and expand that ecosystem for ODK on web clients. As much as possible I’ve tried to make career choices where I can use my tech talent to have a positive impact on the world, now I feel like I’m part of a team where that impact is more clear and tangible than it’s ever been.
So, hello! I’m really looking forward to this next chapter with you all
I'm Theron, an American based in Tanzania. My work focuses on the 'human dimensions' of conservation. I work as a consultant to support conservation programs here and globally. I use ODK with field teams to gather a wide variety of data. I have recently made the switch to ODK central on my servers. Congrats to all who were involved in bringing ODK central to it's current standard. It is a big leap forward.
I'm Martin Schuster. I work for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as a research biologist. I am trying to move away from an archaic data collection program called Data Plus. We collect biological and interview data from sport fisheries around Alaska. I've really enjoyed using XLSForms to create and fine tune what I hope will be our new data collection system for many years. It's been a steep learning curve but thanks to the forum and documentation I've almost got a bug free prototype form for our biological AWL collections. Next step will be a more complicated angler interview form.
Fun Fact, I live in Homer, Alaska the halibut fishing capitol of the world. The Pacific halibut fishery is also one of the most well managed and documented fisheries in the world!
I am Raj Pravat, a socio-economic data thriller based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I am interested in simplifying data collection in a very complex environment, any kind of data from anywhere. I love to see crazy ODK forms and simple questionnaire strategies.

My name is Emmi Lia! I work at the University of Washington Outdoor Recreation and Data lab! We study nature based recreation and tourism. I am based in Washington, USA.
We use ODK to collect data digitally while out in the field! We work in National Forest and National Parks, as well in urban parks. You can check out the work we do a www.outdoorrd.org.
Outside of enjoying myself at work, I love hiking, birding, wildflowers, and chocolate.
Thanks for all you do and happy to benefit from and be park of the ODK community!

Buenos días, Soy Freddy, me interesan mucho los aprendizajes nuevos y tengo gran interés por aprender mucho de Kobo y apoyar a las comunidades de mi región en el levantamiento de información.
I am Dr Vivek Gupta, a faculty at AIIMS, New Delhi. I am an epidemiologist and public health specialist by training and currently work in the domain of community ophthalmology.
Last I used ODK was 6 years back (ODK Aggregate) and it has certainly come a long way since then ! Just set up a new instance of ODK Central at our data-centre in the institute, behind a Nginx Reverse Proxy. Hoping to learn from all of you and sharing my experiences.
Bests,
Vivek

Hello everyone! I'm Tonia from the Yukon, a northern region of Canada.
I'm just recently in the community on behalf of my boss. I work as a system administrator for a company that deals with employee monitoring software. I need to study this platform and find out if our company needs to use it for corporate purposes. I love to cook, my cakes are great. Nice to meet!
Greetings from Indonesia. I am Julius. Currently working for World Vision as Design Monitoring and Evaluation. It's been 8 years using ODK, KOBO and ONA.IO as valuable supporting management apps for my cross sectoral work in the data collection process, both for evaluation and regular monitoring. Some tasks that have used ODK include Caregiver Survey (Health, HIV, Child Protection and Economic Development), CREDI Survey (ECCD), PPI Survey. I have also used Survey CTO in one of the baseline projects. I often visit this ODK forum to get answers to problems with developing forms and using ODK, but this is the first time I directly get in touch because there are things that don't seem to have been discussed here.
I love to cook, my cakes are great. Nice to meet!
