[Quexc-discuss] ACSPRI Social Science Methodology Conference

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Dear All,

ACSPRI (my employer) are running a conference in Sydney in July 2016.
I am planning to convene a session on "Free / open source software in
social research". As users of ACSPRI software - you may be interested
in presenting on the use of the software in your field of research. I
would greatly appreciate your participation.

Please let me know if you are interested in presenting - I can assist
with submitting an abstract by March 4 if required.

Details of the conference are available here:

Submissions of abstracts here:

https://conference.acspri.org.au/index.php/conf/conference2016/schedConf/cfp

Conference dates: Tuesday July 19 – Friday July 22, 2016

Venue: The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia

Session: Free / open source software in social research
Session Convenor: Adam Zammit, Australian Consortium for Social and
Political Research Inc

Free/ open source software is computer software that is allowed to be
shared, modified and improved. Examples of free software in social
research include R, PSPP, Limesurvey, Gephi, NodeXL and Dataverse.
Besides the benefit of usually being free of cost, free software
allows the researchers to share improvements with the community and
use existing free software infrastructure to implement novel research
methods or techniques.  This session aims to showcase the benefits of
using free/ open source software for conducting social research. It
should benefit those who currently use proprietary software systems,
who are interested in free/ open source alternatives or those
interested in seeing what can be achieved using free/ open source
software.

[Quexc-discuss] error when selecting "Administer questionnaires with Limesurvey"

[Jonathan P. <pra...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have just finished installing quexs on Kubuntu 9.04, but I have 
encountered a problem with limesurvey. I can access LimeSurvey and log 
in by browsing to include/limesurvey/admin/admin.php in Firefox, but 
when I am in the quexs administration page in Firefox, and click on the 
link "Administer questionnaires with Limesurvey" I get the following 
message: "Error, try with Firefox". Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Jonathan Pratschke
