Firebird at EKON11 Conference in September
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.

KDE Firebird RBDMS Administration Tool
This is one of the many open source database projects for Firebird RDBMS administration tools on Linux. Like many of its precedents its source code can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kfb
Kfb is programmed with KDevelop (C++ and Qt). It is fully GUI and based mainly on IBPP, another open source project of C++ interface to Firebird API’s. Kfb also includes some other libraries, ncrypt and fbcopy, and all of them are open source projects and all can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net
I have tried to achieve the goal of stability, speed and security in this project, while still keeping it easy to operate and include as many functions as possible. Kfb opeartes on FB 1.5 and 2.0 SS server. Some efforts are to make this program more handy for the daily operations.
