OpenAustralia DevLive is a prebuilt development appliance that allows you to download a ready-to-run OpenAustralia.org and PlanningAlerts development server. No server setup, no dependencies, no worries - just download and start hacking.

It is built using SUSE Studio and openSUSE 11.1.

The appliance is available as a VMWare appliance (that can be run using the free VirtualBox software or the no cost VMWare Player).

A big thank you to Community Builders for hosting the appliance download.
