Marco Cantu Webinar at MindTheBird

Marco Cantu just blogged about his upcoming webinar, promoted by MindTheBird campaign:

To celebrate 10 years of the Firebird open source database and the coming release 2.5, the community behind the software has organized a promotional campaign called “Mind the Bird!“. IN case you don’t know, Firebird started when Borland decided to open source Interbase and later changed their mind. At that point the existing source code as used as a starting point for this open source project. Even if Firebird has a niche role in the open source database world, its technical qualities really shine and its license is fully open (unlike that of the most famous of the open source DBs, MySQL).
