BitNami.org Packages Open Source Web Applications for Easy Installation and Configuration

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2007

The BitNami team has just announced the launch of http://www.bitnami.org, built to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality open source web applications. BitNami Stacks are downloadable, ready-to-run packages that make it easy to get started with open source applications by automating the installation and configuration process. This allows even non-technical users to be up and running with the software in under five minutes. BitNami currently hosts Stacks for blogging, bug-tracking, ECM, forums, portals, wikis and more.

Available BitNami Stacks include DokuWiki, Drupal, Joomla!, KnowledgeTree, Liferay, Mantis, MediaWiki, Opina, phpBB, Redmine, Roller, Trac, and WordPress with others like Alfresco and Moodle coming soon.

BitNami Stacks run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and several Solaris Stacks will be released over the coming months. Each Stack is released as open source under the terms of the Apache 2.0 License, allowing users to download and use the Stacks free of charge. BitNami users and visitors select which Stacks and software combinations will be released through polls and forums hosted on BitNami.org.

“With more than 100 posts in the forums in just a few short weeks, we’re already starting to build a community around BitNami.” says Antonio Santos, forum moderator and developer for BitNami, “We have already released specific stacks such as Trac, based on the site polls and feedback from our early users”

BitNami also offers infrastructure Stacks, including LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP for Linux), MAMP (AMP for Mac OS X), WAMP (AMP for Windows) and Ruby. These Stacks provide developers with easy to install distributions of the open source software many web applications require to run.

John Conroy, a journalist for CMSWire, was happy to hear about the BitNami project after struggling to get web-based open source software installed and configured. “When I first heard about the whole ‘open-source’ thing, I wanted to hug the guy who thought of it. Full power, enterprise-level software power for free?” he said. “Several hours later, still rummaging around with my FTP client, slashing at my host’s server, I wanted to chop his head off. What a shame that no one has thought of automating the deployment process so that non-technical users can actually get their system up and running. Oh wait, BitNami just did.”

BitNami Stacks can be downloaded from http://www.bitnami.org/stacks. Users can provide feedback and suggestions by visiting http://www.bitnami.org/forums.

About BitNami

The purpose of BitNami.org is to increase the adoption of open source software.

This allows users to get up and running with open source in under five minutes. BitNami Stacks are independent, self-contained and relocatable, making distribution and deployment on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux a snap.

BitNami.org Hits 150,000 Downloads, Makes Open Source Apps Even Easier to Install

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) July 8, 2008

San Francisco, CA. July 8, 2008 — BitNami.org, a project dedicated to spreading open source software by making it easier to install and configure, just released a new format for its easy to install open source application stacks – BitNami Modules. The new modular architecture makes it easy to install several applications that share resources such as a database, web server and language runtime. With just a few mouse clicks, even non-technical users can quickly be up and running with applications such as Drupal, WordPress, Dokuwiki, and Mediawiki.

The BitNami project was founded in late 2007 to help spread open source to less technical users, regardless of which operating system they choose to run. The site currently features 18 application stacks, including the Alfresco, KnowledgeTree, eZ Publish, Jooma! and Drupal content management solutions, DokuWiki and MediaWiki, and the phpBB forum software. Several developer/infrastructure stacks are also available, including stacks for Django, Ruby, JRuby and AMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP.) Since launch, BitNami Stacks have been downloaded over 150,000 times from users in over 160 countries.

One of the advantages of BitNami Stacks is that they are completely self-contained and relocatable, so they do not depend on other software being present on the end user’s system. This provides an extremely fast and easy installation process, but may not be ideal for users who want to run several applications on the same server because the user would have one web server, one database and one language runtime installed for each application. BitNami Modules provide a way to install several applications that share resources like a database, web server and language runtime. Just like BitNami Stacks, the Modules can be installed in just a few mouse clicks. Users simply need to download the BitNami Platform and then select the application Modules they’d like to run on top.

“We’re very pleased with the progress we’ve made with the BitNami project over the past several months.” Said Antonio Santos, project administrator for BitNami. “It has been great to see people all over the world participating in our forums and helping to promote the project. The new modular architecture makes BitNami even more useful to our growing community.”

BitNami Stacks and Modules are freely available under the terms of the Apache 2.0 License and can be downloaded from http://www.bitnami.org/stacks.

About BitNami:

BitNami.org is dedicated to increasing the adoption of open source software. Each BitNami Stack contains an open source application and all the software it requires to run, which are wrapped in an easy to use installer.

Open Source Content Management Systems Offer Wider Range of Functionality for Horton Group Clients

Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 04, 2012

Open source refers to software that it is distributed freely and additionally offers access to the products design – essentially opening the source code to collaboration and further ingenuity from outside developers. Horton has taken note of the growing popularity of this type of web development software and has embraced open source CMS as valuable resources for offering clients better marketing and advertising tools.

A community of developers working together to add more utility into a content management system leads to the creation of invaluable tools for businesses and organizations seeking to build a better online presence. On top of providing clients with a means to manage their own content Horton Group also gives clients access to website management tools that are constantly improving. Open source software allows websites the potential to always change and evolve along with a growing library of programming technology.

The majority of Horton Group websites are developed on Drupal, one of the most popular CMS platforms available. With one of the largest and most dedicated online development communities, a few of the websites built on Drupal include big brands like Twitter and Nike. Even the website for The Whitehouse – the executive branch of the United States government – is built on the Drupal platform. Horton Group also uses WordPress as one of their main development platforms because of its simplicity and user friendly interface. Horton Group believes the employment of basic but innovative open source CMS helps clients keep content fresh and relevant – websites become less static and more interactive.

A recent article posted to business2community.com states that more businesses will increasingly begin to adopt open source content management software because of the multiple benefits it offers. However, Horton Group prefers the use of open source content management systems for more reasons than their widespread popularity. Open source software is great because it allows us to offer a variety of options, but also promotes a strong knit development community that in the end will ultimately benefit the client, notes Horton Group Lead Developer Matt Smith. Most open source content management systems like Drupal are free, which allow us to pass bigger savings onto our customers. This gives us the capability to offer clients more diverse programming options at lower costs.

Interior Designers Heading to Beverly Hills To Learn Leading Edge Business Skills Business of Design Conference Enters 9th Year as Premier Source for Design Education

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

More like an executive education seminar at a leading business school than a trade show, the BoD Conference employs a wide array of business experts and faculty members to bring leading edge business education to interior designers and decorators. BoD Conference founder David Shepherd (a 25-year veteran of one of the nation’s top-ranked business schools) will serve as facilitator and present a challenging new segment entitled, “The 7 Doors To Your Destiny.”

“After a decade of working with thousands of designers, I’ve identified seven critical belief systems that the most successful designers must embrace,” said Shepherd. “I’m looking forward to putting designers through a thoughtful, provocative series of exercises centered around seven psychological principlesCalling, Changing, Crossing, Risking, Asking, Dreaming, and Doing. I guarantee that anyone making it through these self-tests will experience important changes in their business, and perhaps in their life.”

Because of the exclusive, interactive nature of the BoD Conference (http://www.bodconference.com) attendance is limited to about 200 and the conference sells out months in advance. As evidence of the value designers find in the conference, many interior designers will be attending their sixth, seventh, eighthand even ninth consecutive BoD Conference. “The first event in 2004 was like divine intervention,” said San Antonio designer Debbie Baxter. ” This will be my ninth consecutive event and I wouldn’t miss it.”

In addition to Shepherd, this year’s BoD Conference offers a faculty of the most experienced, successful consultants and advisors on the business of design. These include:

Gail Doby Founder of Design Success University
Fred Berns A leading authority on branding

Open Source Web Content and Experience Management Systems Becoming Increasingly Commercialized

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

An increasing trend toward commercialization of open source Web Content & Experience Management (WCXM) solutions is narrowing the gulf between open source and proprietary business models, according to an updated evaluation report released today by independent analyst firm, The Real Story Group (formerly CMS Watch).

RSGs evaluations cite greater sophistication among open source WCXM vendors as they strive to turn their technologies into revenue-generating offerings through support subscriptions, add-on modules, and implementation fees.

At the same time, notes RSG Senior Analyst Irina Guseva, were also seeing savvier customers recognize that open source alternatives are not in fact free, and typically require similar amounts of investment compared to what proprietary WCXM systems require.

These findings come from Version 21 of Real Story Group’s Web Content & Experience Management Evaluation Stream, which provides detailed, in-depth critical analyses of 35 major WCXM suppliers from around the globe.

The Real Story Group observed heightened levels of commercial activity among open source WCXM vendors:

Acquia is becoming a major commercial arm for Drupal, providing greater advisory services amid a global vacuum of Drupal talent

DotNetNuke is using venture funding to expand its partner channel, although the systems suitability for enterprise deployments remains questionable

eZ Systems has concluded several acquisitions, increased its pricing, and introduced new support options

Hippo has gone on a hiring spree, although its penetration of the North American market remains slow

WordPress, an increasingly popular publishing tool, garners ever-greater installs, opening up opportunities for commercial consultants and theme designers

Several open source WCXM platforms remain staunchly community based, mostly notably Joomla!, Plone, and Typo3.

“Organizations evaluating WCXM vendors should note key differences between commercial and community-based open source models,” notes RSG Analyst Matt Mullen. “There are pros and cons to both approaches, but the growing commercialization of the segment overall certainly narrows the gap between open source and proprietary solutions.
