1º Firebird Developes Day
(Location: UNIMEP - Methodist University of Piracicaba)
(leia em português) - (index of all reports)
The 1º FDD surpassed all of our expectations, as regarding quality as well public acceptance! Almost 400 people were present at the event, a very good number, specially due to the fact that Piracicaba is out of the axle Rio-São Paulo.
The event was hold in UNIMEP, using a great structure composed by a big theater with 600+ people capacity, and the Red-Room, with 200 places capacity.
We had a total of 13 hours of information, divided in 10 lectures, done in pairs, concurrently. The lectures subjects can be checked in the grid below.

Draws and auction |
PS: The Jaybird lecture was canceled since the speaker flight didn't arrive in time. It was substituted by the Data Migration lecture.
At the end of the event, some products had been drafted between the people: 1 license of IBObjects, 1 license of IBExpert, 1 license of TUsersSecurity, ClubeDelphi, SQLMagazine, MSDN and ActiveDelphi magazine subscriptions, event T-Shirt, FireBase and ActiveDelphi's CD and ClubeDelphi learning course in CDROM.
The newness of this event was the accomplishment of an auction to raise funds for the Firebird Foundation. A "life-time" license of the IBExpert and a signed book from Helen Borrie had been auctionzed, gentily yielded for its respective authors. The accomplishment of auctions in this kind of events is not common in Brazil, and until then we had some doubts about the acceptance of this by the public. Happily we had success, thanks to Jose Benício de Paiva, who bought the 2 products!
We would like to thanks everyone present. The event was promoted by FireBase, in partnership with DUG-BR, and will have an annual regularity. See you in 2005, at the 2º FDD!
