Seconded - it was great, finally meeting people who have been
doing InterBase since, ehm, since, well, I believe since the
late 1920s... :-D

Lots of software developers - if not all - not much management folks.
Lots of things to talk about, mostly computers & software, obviously ;-)

App developers for sure - there will be topics ranging from very green
to very advanced. I bet there will also be people who never heard of
Firebird but are there to check it out and regret that they haven't used
it before.
