Hello,
For German language please have a look at our DBA Blog:
http://www.blogs.uni-erlangen.de/db/stories/2717/
to shorten the time to the next firebird conference there will be a
small firebird day in Germany, Erlangen at the RRZE
(www.rrze.de) (local computing center of the university
Erlangen-Nürnberg) from 8th to 9th May 2009.
We’ll start at Friday morning and end at Saturday evening.
There might be a pre day presentation for sponsors on 7 May.
The main track will be in German but it’s also possible to have some
English talks as the once of Dimitry and Vlad for example and
international after track meetings.
-= Today I’m looking for sponsors and speakers =-
A new set of interviews done by HardSoft TV during the 5th Firebird Developers Day in Brazil is now online. You need to use Internet Explorer to watch the videos. Unfortunately, there is no way to “fast forward” it, so you need to watch the video until the “interesting” part arrives (usually after the introduction, at 40% of the timeline) 😉
PS: Audio is in portuguese. Images are nice!
