The 12th edition of the Firebird Developers Day was held in the city of Piracicaba — SP — Brazil, at Aug, 08 2015, in Espaço Beira Rio. The conference is organized by FireBase, and had the presence of attendees coming from 15 different Brazilian states: AL, BA,CE, ES, GO, MG, MS, MT, PA, PE, PR, RJ, RS, SP e SC. This year we had the special presence of Dmitry Yemanov (chief of Firebird’s development team) and Alexey Kovyazin, from IBSurgeon. The Brazilian side of the speakers were composed by Alexandre Benson Smith, Marcelo Daibert, Nilson Brasil and Carlos Henrique Cantu.

The sessions was:

In the final session, there was a prizes draw among the attendees, with products offered by our sponsors and supporters. Along the day, attendees could buy products direct from our sponsors (IBSurgeon, FastReports, IBObjects, Woll2Woll, DevArt, Steema and Embarcadero) with big discounts!

During the subscription process, attendees were able to donate money to the Firebird Foundation, to sponsor the development of the Firebird Project. The amount collected this year was R$ 4.590,27. The list of donors is available at http://www.firebirddevelopersday.com.br/fdd/12fdd_donors.html.

In August-7, there was a special MasterClass about Performance Optimization, by Dmitry Yemanov and Alexey Kovyazin, for a selected number of attendees. The MasterClass was in English language.

In a difficult year, marked by a crisis maybe never seen before, with several companies cutting costs and some of them having to close its doors, it is important to recognize and to value all those who had invested time and money to participate in FDD to grow their knowledge! For sure this will make the diference in the quality of the applications developed, and offered support!

Thanks for the presence, not forgetting the speakers, staff, sponsors and supporters. I hope to see all of you again in 2.016, after the Firebird 3 release and with lots of new features to be shown!
