Hewlett-Packard has been reported as about to announce a new gaming appliance named “Firebird”. Any computer-related product is in Class 9, the same class in which “Firebird” is a protected mark registered to the Foundation. Someone at HP didn’t do his homework! Hewlett-Packard (Australia) Pty Ltd has been sent a letter by registered mail informing them of the violation and the need to ensure that the parent company knows it cannot use our trademark.

FirebirdNews wish a really Nice Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all the Firebird people, specially developers and supporters!

2009 will be a cool year, with the release of FB 2.5 and the first betas of 3.0 showing up! If you want to send a XMas gift to the project, you can do this right now contributing with the Firebird Foundation 😉

Go Firebird!

Looks like “Firebirdians” already have an official wine 😉 Firebird Legend, from Moldova, proved to be a really good wine, at last for the taste of some Firebird users (including myself).

Afterall, with this name, it could not be different! 🙂

The Firebird and the Tracker site is temporary off-line,  due to a malicious attack at the weekend. People are working to put it online again asap.
