From Firebird Foundation blog:
QuickEasy Software, from Cape Town, today became a Silver sponsor, with CEO Heinrich van der Vyver stating “…recently converted our software from IB6 to run on Firebird 2.0.3 and I’m very pleased with the result, also with the backend utility Flamerobin.”
Excerpt from article on ComputerWorld:
Vitek says MailServer 6.5 also includes an updated Outlook plug in that lets people read and write mail, make calendar changes and other groupware tasks while disconnected from the Kerio MailServer. The new plug in includes a Firebird database that captures all the work you do while on the road and updates everything once you connect back to the server. Another benefit of using Firebird, Vitek points out, is that users now will have full-text search of everything stored in the database.

As you may or may not be aware, the very first LugRadio Live USA in 2008 is taking place at The Metreon in San Francisco. The event will be happening on the 12th and 13th April 2008, and will provide the unique atmosphere of the UK event, but in glorious San Francisco. LugRadio Live has developed a strong reputation for providing a range of topics about free software, Open Source, digital rights, technology and more, a compelling list of speakers, exhibitors and birds of a feather sessions, and wrapping it all in a unique, fun, loose, social and inclusive event, which is often described as combining the atmosphere of a rock concert and a computer conference.
Jaybird 2.1.3 released. This release fixes only one bug, JDBC-106, which is related to the situation when developers use DatabaseMetaData class with identifiers/patterns with case different to the one in the database.
The solution is to try to execute the query with the original case and when nothing is found, another query with uppercased identifiers is executed. This, in worst case will cause two queries to be executed against the database, which can lead to performance loss.

We’d like it if your exhibition stand could be something fun and interactive, rather than just a table with leaflets and advertising.
