BitNami Redmine Stack now available in Spanish and Japanese!

Hello! ¡Hola! こんにちは!

We have been working on a lot of exciting new features and improvements for BitNami and BitNami Cloud Hosting that we will be releasing over the next few weeks. Today we are really happy to announce support for Japanese and Spanish for one of our most popular stacks: Redmine is a great project management tool that is both flexible and easy to use. The new language support means that the whole installation process and application setup have been localized, making Redmine more accessible than ever for users that are not fluent in English. This is the first of many stacks to be localized. If you are interested in helping with the effort, or would like to see a specific stack localized, please let us know.  We want to thank Sakai Kei for his help with the Japanese translation.

New BitNami Stack for OSQA: The Open Source Question and Answer System

We are excited to announce the addition of a new stack to the BitNami library . OSQA is an open source question and answer system, very similar to the popular Stack Overflow family of sites. OSQA helps manage and grow online communities by making it easy to discuss issues and find answers to questions. It is written in Python and powered by the Django application framework. As with all BitNami Stacks, the BitNami OSQA Stack contains everything you need in order to run OSQA and is available free of charge as a native installer, VMWare virtual appliance and Amazon Machine Image. Over the next few days, we will also add it to our BitNami Cloud offering. Together with the Amazon Free Tier, it will mean you can host and run your own OSQA site on the Cloud, completely for free! Below you can find a couple of screenshots of OSQA in action

Custom Domains with BitNami Cloud Hosting

In the latest update to BitNami Cloud Hosting, we added the ability to get a custom domain for your servers. During the process of creating a new server, you will now see a field where you can enter your own domain prefix. You will then be able to access your server at your_domain_prefix.bitnamiapp.com. This makes it easier to share your application with others.

If you already have a BitNami Cloud Hosting account, you will see this new feature when you create a new server. If you do not yet have a BitNami Cloud Hosting account sign up for a free trial!
