Firebird’s 10th birthday a bunch of conferences
Posted by Cantu on 19 Apr 2010 11:19 am. Filed under Events/Conferences.
Posted in FB-General list.
Dear Firebird Foundation members, dear Firebird users,
To celebrate the Firebird’s 10th birthday and the launch of Firebird 2.5, the Firebird Foudation Committee invite you to setup and participate to a worldwide bunch of conferences.
The idea is to set up conferences every where there is a Firebird Community, to have at least 10 conferences to celebrate the 10th birthday.
These conferences can have various format, from an half day to three days, the content can be advance topics made by core developpers, but also Firebird show case, information about the project it self, Firebird tools show case, speak about Firebird 2.5 new features, etc …
To day we have :
- A one day conference in Ukraine On Friday, April 23, 2010
- Firebird Developers Day in Brazil, in July
- A three days combined HK-Software/Firebird conference in Bremen, Germany in November
- Sarajevo,France, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia are planned
It would be nice to have events in countries where we have Firebird users and where we never had a conference before (Poland, USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc )
We the coordinate effort with the Mind the Bird campaign, we already have material that can be useful (slides, webinars recording)
We are working on a “10th anniversary event package” organizers could use as core content ( with for example a speech/presentation about Firebird from day one to present and with future plans). It would help organizers that don’t have any local FB developer(s) and can’t afford to invite one.
We need now volunteers :
- to take in charge such event in their country
- content writers
- sponsors hunters
- speakers
Soon some web pages will be setup to inform and popularize this initiative.
So please, anyone ready to help, please subscribe to the dedicated mailing list https://lists.firebirdsql.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fbconference
So we can coordinate our efforts.
Thanks,
Philippe Makowski
Firebird Foundation
