(ver em portugues) - (index of all past reports)
The fifth edition of Firebird Developers Day was held in Piracicaba - SP, at July, 19 2008, in the UNIMEP theater, with the presence of more than 550 people, keeping FDD as the biggest Firebird conference in the world (regarding number of attendees).
Once more, the conference had the presence of big names of the Brazilian community, as well international speakers: Mauricio Longo, Carlos H. Cantu, Alexandre Benson Smith, Manoel Pimentel, Rogério Cordeiro, Bruno Lichot, Holger Klemt (IBExpert), Dmitry Kouzmenko (IBSurgeon), José Alberto Rodrigues Filho, Luiz Paulo de Oliveira Santos, Michael Philippenko (FastReports) e Dmitry Yemanov.
The conferece grid (see the end of this report) included topics of great interest to the participants. We had up to 3 rooms with simultaneous talks running. The structure was composed by a theater (800 people capacity), the Red Room (200 people capacity) and the Green Room (200 people capacity).
The attendees could buy Firebird related products with huge discounts, like IBExpert, IBSurgeon Tools and FastReports tools. At the end, we had a draw of many software licenses, books, cds, courses, etc.
I would like to thanks all the speakers, sponsors, the public, UNIMEP and all the other people that was involved in some way with the realization of this conference.
Hope to see all of you again in 2009, at the next FDD edition!
