Great!!! Contacted them myself too, with a contest entry for either Pharo stand-alone or Seaside on Pharo, since the contest mainly focuses on 'web frameworks'.
For vanilla Pharo this was their response: "Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately we can not add Pharo in our Bitnami contest. We are currently focused on web applications and Pharo is a desktop IDE tool." So I added an entry on Seaside, which he has yet to reply to, adding examples on how to run headless cloud servers with that in mind: "I made another request for "Seaside" which is a Smalltalk (language) web framework that runs either on Pharo, GNU Smaltalk or other variants running headless, connecting remotely to add code or modify the app. For example a GNU Smalltalk: http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/html_node/Seaside.html Seaside apps, including the entire memory footprint is stored in an "image file", this image files acts like a miniVM virtual hard drive. When you save all objects are saved as the are, and when you load it again it essentially "resumes" exacly where it left off. Images are started this way and the app becomes available on a port, you can connect to it and "develop" de image and remotely write code and execute it inside like this: http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/bonzinip/seaside-development-gnu-smalltalk Seaside is used mainly in the financial industry and for heavy duty erp apps. Now it has gained a footprint in the community because of the advanced Object Oriented approach to web development with Seaside." He'll probably need more advice as things progress.
