Bitnami is a library of popular server applications and development environments that can be installed with one click, either in your laptop, in a virtual machine or hosted in the cloud. We take care of compiling and configuring the applications and all of their dependencies (third-party libraries, language runtimes, databases) so they work out-of-the-box. The resulting packaged software (a ‘stack’) is then made available as native installers, virtual machines and cloud images. These Bitnami application packages provide a consistent, secure and optimized end-user experience when deploying any app, on any platform.
If you want to see Firebirs supported in the Bitnami library, vote now direct in their site!

I just upload a new branch into the main repository. This new branch “develop” [1] has the implementation to support django 1.7.
I’ll like have got some feedback about it, so just clone the repo and switch to “develop” branch to try with django 1.7.
Let me know what is wrong or just submit an issue entry.
Keep in touch.

On 31 October, 2014, the Firebird Project released the Firebird 2.5 Language Reference in Russian, a large documentation task sponsored by Moscow Exchange, one of the biggest Firebird users in the world, and IBSurgeon (tools and services for Firebird). Several Russian-speaking Firebird Project core developers participated in creating this tome of almost 500 pages to ensure its quality. Coming up will be the extensions (also in Russian) covering Firebird 3.
