Hi,
My name is Zvi, I've lived in a number of places, and am now based in Israel. In 2018 I was looking for a survey tool that can record the location of each responses and be used offline, so filling a survey won't require being online. I was advised that there is a popular open source tool that can do that, and this is how I got started with ODK.
I hope to use ODK-collect for health research (surveys of behaviors and health outcomes of individuals in different locations).
I am not a programmer, certainly not in Java, nor a sysadmin, so I'll either recored the answers in a Google spreadsheet, or use the services of a provider (such as Londong School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine - if they let me).
Not sure what else to add, and I also don't like to share personal stuff with search engines that scour forums for information, so this will be it for now.

Hi! My name is Ridho from Indonesia. ODK is my favorite data collection platform in a remote area. I often use ODK in various fields, especially related to geospatial data such as for land surveys, plantations, disaster, NGO activities, conservation etc. I have a plan to integrate ODK with geospatial platform. I'm so excited to join this very helpful community.

Hi, I am Wanangwa Banda from Malawi in Africa and currently a Monitoring and Evaluation Office Intern at Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). Just started my second year.
I got involved with the ODK community by troubleshooting for ODK since I am self training on ODK so the community is were I got most of the help when I am stuck. Its been fun this far because I must admit achieving something out of your own initiative feels out of this world awesome. I am just learning how to create ODK forms but I have been using ODK for a couple years and projects now as an end user data collector.
So I will be learning much from you guys and glad I am on the community.

Wow, this Welcome thread is amazing.
Kudos to ODK. Wow.
We are a team based at McGilll University in Canada, as well as in China and the US, doing fieldwork in rural Beijing. We have been using Surveybe since 2017, but it folded and remained closed/proprietary, stranding all our investments in coding up the survey.
So glad that an open-source option is now up to the task.
However, we are now in a rush to get ODK servers up in Canada and in China...

Hello, I am a software engineer based in Berlin, Germany, working mostly with Java and Linux. Back in 2013 we had put in place a data collection solution based on ODK Collect in RDC, and now it has been one year that we are using it again for a project across French-speaking West Africa. I have developed a lightweight implementation of the Open Rosa protocol, so that ODK Collect can "talk" directly to our system.

Hi, I'm Rodrique, from Cameroon, living in Cameroon 
Senior Full-Stack Software developper and Humanitarian 
I get into ODK in 2015, when trying to find out an open source software that I can easily use to collect data on animals drugs which are sold into a region of my country. From this date, it is the only tool I use to recommend and support for all organization who have data collection activities.
I widely use Kobo during my humanitarian activities. But ODK its the default deployed server when an internal one is needed.
I love social activities, I like discovering new places in my country or in the world (virtual/real visit : all matters) ; I practive a little bit Piano, and I'm intermediate in Taekwondo :-p

Hello people of ODK!
My name is Lucas Silbernagel and I'm usually based in Berlin, 
where I'm pursuing a M.Sc. in Business Intelligence. At the moment, however, I'm doing a Data Science internship at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute which is why I'm working and living in Basel, 
.
During the internship I got in touch with ODK for the first time as it is the data collection tool of choice in the research project that me, @Thalie and many others are working on. The project is called "Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness" and we are collecting health data in Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, and India. You can find more info here.
I'm joining the forum because I'm currently developing a generic R package for the Swiss TPH which aims to facilitate the the generation of reports with ODK data.
It is still at an early stage of development but feel free to check it out on my GitHub.

Hello everyone. I am Sudhir Gupta based in India. We have used ODK with GAE in the past on several projects. It was really easy. Recently we started exploring ODK for another project and found that support for GAE has been discontinued. So we are struggling to build on AWS and facing problems. Reaching out to the community for support. This is my Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sudhir2016/

Hi All
I am Praveen Shrivastava from Lucknow, India.
I started using ODK 2 years back because it was open source and easy to use. I develop forms on my own and also setup the google app-engine/vm-instance for the clients.
I am working with private sector, I also Visualize and create dashboards for reports for the clients.
Now I am using ODK-Central. I am here for a query which is related with table format.
Before when i was using SurveyCTO there i have option to export the data in wide format. But in Central is this facility available?
