Events/Conferences.
Last Saturday was the day to assemble the 500 folders that every FDD attendee will receive. Vlad Khorsun and Dmitry Kouzmenko (international speakers) will arrive in São Paulo in the next few minutes. Last time I meet them personaly was in Italy, in the last FB Intl. Conference.
Btw, I wish to thanks IBSurgeon for sponsoring Vlad flight tickets!
“Late” people can still subscribe to the conference until tomorrow.

500 FDD folders
BTW, will we have an International FB Conference this year?

Beside importing, the tool can be used to compare the data from file against the database and cherry-pick the changes manually. More info, and a demo video can be found at XMLWizard website.
