Hello I'm Finishing my Master Degree this Year (2016) in Information
Technology at Petru Maior University Romania  (Last year i had some familiy
issues that now are solved)

http://upm.ro/English/English.html

I will work this summer on finishing integration of Firebird backend

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Finish_Firebird_driver_integration

The main remaining issue is that the firebird data format embedded in the
.odb file is endianess-dependent. The idea is to switch to Firebird's
"archive" format that is not.

I started by cleaning the previous gerrit and submitting new one

Also as time permits fixing the following blockers for firebird integration
:

 bug 69949 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69949> -
table editor should support the autoincrement
 bug 71009 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71009> -
relationship management not implemented in GUI
 bug 71251 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71251> -
Creating table from default choices via wizard fails
 bug 74172 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74172> - no
data type DECIMAL/NUMERIC
 bug 76072 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76072> -
view creation not implemented

I will test also firebird 3.0 integration (it should work with old 2.5 c
based api with no changes )

I started last year a patch that needs to be reworked with Firebird 3.0
RC2/Final

Some it's features would allow easy fixes for example autoincrement
(implemented as identity)

True boolean datatype ...

If nothing else is left to do i will create a branch with firebird 3.0 c++
oo api

https://github.com/asfernandes/fbstuff/tree/master/src/test

Api is  now fronzen according to the Firebird core developers
