The 11th edition of the Firebird Developers Day was held in the city of Piracicaba — SP — Brazil, at Aug, 30 2014, in Espaço Beira Rio. The conference had around 400 attendees, and 11 sessions including an exclusive presentation by Dmitry Yemanov (chief of Firebird’s development team), named
“Firebird development, where we stand and where we go”. Unfortunately, Dmitry was not able to be physically present at the conference, so his session was recorded, and in the end, an online audio channel was opened, so people could ask questions and get answers direct from him.
