Do you want Bitnami to add Firebird support?
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!

Firebird Django 1.7 support (experimental)
Maximiliano Robaina wrote on django-firebird-dev list
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.
