This November there were 2 Firebird events in Czech Republic: Firebird Developers Day and Firebird and Fast Report seminar. It seems Firebird community is growing quickly in Czech Republic, and more and more professionals choose the universal open source database for their solutions.

The Firebird Reference Documentation Sub-Project has the goal to create a comprehensive Reference Documentation for the Firebird SQL Database.
PS: Anyone can pick a topic and write a piece of documentation for it. It’s small pieces on a per-keyword-basis, with no markups, just plain text with a very basic structure skeleton – so no skills in html, docbook or anything like that are required. The plan is to keep the “entry level” very low so everyone here can help. Final doc will look something like this.
