In the last saturday (29/July), around 600 Brazilians participated in the Firebird Developers Day conference (third edition). This year we had the presence of Holger Klemt (IBExpert) and Alexey Kovyazin (IBSurgeon) as international speakers, as well other great names of the Brazilian Firebird community. Unfortunatelly, Ann Harrison was not able to be here, but we hope to see her in the next year. A report with photos will be online in a few days.
