There is a conference about Open Source, Web development and Databases at
the end of June in Sofia, Bulgaria. You can see
http://wtconferences.com/2006/index.php for more info.
I will make a lecture about Firebird and now I make my presentation and
develop the information to present. Almost all of lecture I will present
Firebird current version, to make it more popular here in Bulgaria. I also
plan to include information about FB 2 at the end of lecture – new things,
performance optimization, etc.

The Firebird Project has begun releasing source and binary kits of Firebird 2.0 Release Candidate 2. As usual, the Linux builds will be available first. Please do not flood the support lists if a kit you want is delayed. We have no control over how long it takes the mirrors to catch up.

Problem is the installer for firebird 2.0 rc1 currently changes permissions on /etc/services file to 600 and permisions need to be 644.
This has been posted on Firebird Devel List and is patched.
I will repost it here so others have less problems finding it.

Firebird 2.0 RC1 is out
The Firebird Project is pleased to announce the release of the first release candidate of Firebird 2.0, for final testing. Download kits are available for Windows and Linux, including x64 Linux. However, due to hardware failure on the Windows build system, there will be initial delays in accessing the Win32 kits. Patience please!
The Firebird 2.0 RC1 tag is going to be set this week – Feature Freeze
