Where can I learn about history of Firebird?

Here's a short time line. Firebird started from InterBase 6.0 open source code, so here's what led to that:

InterBase days:
o 1976: Jim Starkey wrote Datatrieve at DEC.
o 1981: Jim Starkey started coding JRD (Jim's Relational Database).
o 1984: Jim Starkey, Ann Harrison and Don Depalma founded Groton Database Systems (GDS)
o 1986: Groton became InterBase
o 1986: Ashton-Tate started investing in InterBase and bought it completely in 1991
o 1991: Borland bought Ashton-Tate (and thus InterBase)
o 1995: $3.5 mil. contract with U.S. Army (Magnavox).
o 1997: Borland creates ISC (InterBase Software Corp.)
o 1998: Borland changes name to Inprise Corporation

o 2000, Jan: Inprise announces IB6 will be open sourced
o 2000, Feb: A new company created to support open source IB. Ann Harrison, Jim Starkey and Paul Beach are back.
o 2000, Jul: Inprise releases source of Interbase 6.0

Firebird:
