I would like to work with ODK in GSOC'20 as i fullfill all of his technology requirement i.e java and android .
I get to know about ODK through GSOC and after seeing the past projects of ODK i am eager to start contributing in its open source projects so please send me the link of bigenner bug list to start my contribution .My email ID is kunal.kumarsaw.ece19@itbhu.ac.in and github acc https://github.com/Kunalkumarsaw.
My name's Soth and I'm currently a college freshman in Phnom Penh.
I'm very new to ODK and I joined this community to get support setting up ODK for a project I'm working on. I'm very excited to participate, explore and learn more about ODK as I think it's an incredibly useful and impactful tool.
Thank you to the ODK team and this community for making such an awesome open-source tool.
Greetings to you all the intellectuals, am Katende Emmanuel an M&E consultant operating in Uganda. I am very excited to join this ODK forum. Blessings to you all.
Hello,
I'm Greg Lipps and I'm a herpetologist (amphibian and reptile biologist) working in Ohio, USA. I started using ODK in 2012 and have used it exclusively for all of my data collection since 2013. I've authored dozens of forms and have trained lots of employees on its use. ODK has become such an integral part of my work, I always remember to include the project in my end of year giving. Recently, I've begun to explore what has been made possible with the Google Drive implementation (citizen science?) and am excited to see where ODK goes next. Certainly one of the greatest tools that I've seen come about in my lifetime, and I'm extremely grateful for everyone who has made it possible.
If that's not enough, and you want to dive into my data collection story (from analog to digital) and read about my experiences with hardware, I've posted much of this on my website: http://home.greglipps.com/data-collection
Hey,
I am Johannes Wilm located in Lund, Sweden. Over the past few years I have been contracting as a frontend and backend developer with various organizations working in the development sector. In two cases Kobo Toolbox and ODK were used, but that has been years ago.
What I am currently looking at is a django/python based system for storing data. New data comes in via spreadsheets and alike after it has been collected via proprietary systems. We would like to see if we could integrate the entire process from data collection to storage into one system. Kobo Toolbox could be one obvious candidate for doing that given that it's also python/django, but it seems like Kobo may be falling a bit behind and I wonder if ODK Central may be a better solution if we manage to transfer the data on to our system from there even though it is a nodejs app.
I'm Mathieu, but I'll answer on this site on behalf of bikmat. I am currently living in Côte d'Ivoire and I'm a statistical engineer. I've worked with many data collection tools (CSPRO, epidata, etc.). It's only this year that I discovered ODK Collect and I fell in love with it. I hope you will help me to maintain it. I want to train my colleagues to work on ODK but first I need to develop my own mastery of it if I want to have the chance to convince them. (pfff real conservatives).
Hi, I am Vivek Verma and I am a third-year student in NIT Silchar. Actually I am here since last September but I forgot to introduce myself. Today I had seen that I have a draft message. It's so nice to meet you all.
Hello all, I'm Peter Lwanda from Tanzania and a good user of ODK. I develop ODK forms for my organizations, students and people undertaking various research. Its a good tool.
Looking forward to learning and sharing ideas with you.
Hi all! I'm Lauri and work at the IFRC at primary data collection. I've had a couple of years pause in using ODK and apparently a lot has happened since. I'm excited to see so much progress and can't wait to catch up with all that is new and seemingly bigger, better and shinier. I'm equally keen to get to know the community surrounding the probably-the-best primary data collection tool available. Cheers!
I am Ijeoma, I work as a researcher using earth observation and GIS as an integral part of my everyday work. I am glad to be here. I am still at the early stages of learning about ODK as this is my first go on mobile data collection platforms and being part of an open source community. There is so much to learn and I am taking it one day at a time. I am very grateful for the great community here.
BTW, I have been kicking myself for not hearing about ODK earlier and using paper based questionnaire the last 5 years of my work life! Anyway, I am glad to have been saved now and I look forward to sharing this awesome discovery and new knowledge to a next person I come across
ODK is a relief! and I look forward to an amazing time here.
Hello! My name is Sarah Hileman and I am based in the US. I have been using ODK since 2014 for monitoring and evaluation of reproductive health and HIV programs. When I design and lead studies in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, I appreciate being able to program and edit surveys myself with the easy-to-use ODK tools. I enjoy learning about new developments in the program and using this forum to problem-solve and learn from others. And I especially like to read about the different types of projects where ODK is used!
Hello together
I'm a It consultant and working for a or I could say the Scheduling Software Company in Kiel Northern Germany.
My contact to ODK is private and has it's origin in a former position with ODK field forms in forestry surveys. It looked so simple and I got an intro to forms. Now just want to learn more about integration of servers etc.
Aside of PC work I love playing darts, cards or canoeing mostly together with my wife and or friends.
Will love to read lots of things and hope to contribute to the community.
All the best
Voller
Hi everyone!!,
I am Andrew Siew from Malaysia. I am currently a Senior in Computer Science at UW and wanted to contribute to this amazing application! I met Hélène through Impact++ a club in UW centered around coding for social good.
Hi, I'm Kirby James and I live in the South West of the UK - by the sea. I'm involved with a number of projects aimed at developing sustainable transport solutions - particularly those involving walking and cycling.
In particular I'm involved with the Exeter Cycling Campaign which is a charity supported entirely by voluntary effort.
We have been using ODK to gather information about hazards and potential areas where improvements can be made. We have been combining this data with accident statistics to identify the areas most needing improvements.
