You are very welcome at MindTheBird! campaign.

====== What is MindTheBird! =====

MindTheBird! is the Firebird Community activation campaign, with the
main goal to support launch of Firebird 2.5 and ensure the visibility
of the Firebird in the world of information technologies: media, open-
source enthusiasts and end users.

MindTheBird! provides messaging framework, marketing materials and
guidance to speak about Firebird with end-users, journalists and even
competitors. We encourage all developers and enthusiasts of Firebird
to be the part of this very important campaign.

Firebird 2.5 Launch is the best time to get attention for Firebird,
and MindTheBird will leverage it.

===== How Can You Help Firebird? ====

You can be contributor or ambassador (or both).

translations of materials.

for your colleagues, friends and other people you relate with via
Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

Dear All,

Please pay attention to the recruiting presentation "MindTheBird: How
You Can Help Firebird"
www.slideshare.net/mindthebird/mindthebird-how-you-can-help-firebird-to-launch

It's very important to spread it, it explains the MindTheBird idea and
gives hints.

Best regards,
MindTheBird Team

Hi,

I wanted to translate in French some slides (I updated the Firebird in 2 minutes paper)
but how can I translate slide 5 of 1_Firebird_general_ppt ?
under Open Office it seems that it is a big picture, not text that I can change.

Sorry, I'm not PowerPoint expert, my own slides are made with Latex ;)
