New site about Firebird is up:
Firebird FAQ is an online repository of 300+ answers to frequently,and not so frequently asked questions about the Firebird database management system (DBMS). This growing Q&A collection is a built by Firebird users, for Firebird users. All FirebirdFAQ editors have been using Firebird in various projects since the first versions showed up for download.

Firebird is to have a two-part slot in this year’s Entwickler Konferenz in Frankfurt, Germany. EKON runs in parallel with the all-Europe Codegear (Borland) Developer Conference at the end of September, but our presenter, Thomas Steinmaurer, assures us that this double session will be pure Firebird, unfettered by any requirement to merge tracks with any Codegear products.
