Flashback: 25 years of Firebird

Leave a comment

In 2025, Firebird celebrated 25 years of development. We want to share 25 years of stories, memories, trivia, the ups and downs and major achievements in a livestream (in Portuguese) on February 5th at 7:30 PM (GMT -3). The event will feature Carlos Cantu, Alexandre Benson Smith and Artur Anjos.

Did you know that Ann Harrison, married to Jim Starkey (creator of InterBase/Firebird) and known as the “Mother of Firebird,” once received death threats because of FB? This is just one of the many curious stories we’ll share during our flashback.

Grab your beer, wine, coffee, juice, or whatever you prefer to drink, and join us for a fun flashback filled with behind-the-scenes info that most of you probably don’t know!

Join us on YouTube on February 5 at 7:30 PM (GMT -3)!
