Is there a network of PSPP users I can join or contact?

2022-03-10 Thread drpaul
We've just started a nonprofit for wellness education and research, and the 
free anonymous, test of personal wellness we are using has a Creative Commons 
copyright, 
We want our research to be open source all the way.  Our data analysis will be 
quite extensive with a large volume of data, so PSPP is ideal for our needs. 

I am seeking software engineering agencies that have done well for nonprofits 
using PSPP with large projects.   But I don't know where to find them, so I'm 
hoping other users can help me with that search.  

One can learn more about me and this project on my website, https:// 
https://www.mynewlife.comwww.mynewlife.com https://www.mynewlife.com

The material under the Wellness tab gives information on the nonprofit and its 
research mission of education and research.   It will be on our new website 
when we launch it, to-the-well.org.  

I will very much appreciate any help you can give me with your response.

Hi Ben

Could somebody get Debian, Ubuntu and/or Mint to put PSPP back on their
repositories please?
I have tried to install the pspp tarball but it needs so many more packages
and I don't feel confident in installing them as well.

Many thanks

Roy

I don't have any influence over the distributions.

 Hi Roy,

 i guess this is related to a licensing problem which resulted in pspp
 being dropped in debian. During that time Ubuntu started a new distribution
 focal where pspp was then missing. I resolved the licensing issue so pspp
 is now back but not in Focal.

 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-pspp/2020-05/msg4.html

 I guess Linux Mint then copied from Ubuntu Focal and therefore it is
 also missing in Mint.

 Cheers

 Fritz
