It was 6th August 2008, CiviCRM team was getting ready for first alpha release of version 2.1. You could feel the tension and sense the responsibility on everyone’s face. Although it was an alpha release, each one wanted to close their outstanding issues / bugs. We were trying to get Open Issues count below 10 and wanted to close as much QA issues as possible.
Deepak was busy fixing upgrade issues. That’s one of the most complex things we need to provide users so that they don’t lose any of their existing data. This responsibility was with Deepak and his upgrade team. Our Joomla czar, Amit was helping Deepak with Joomla related upgrade issues and fixing/adding documentation for v2.0 to v2.1 upgrade procedure. Meanwhile Sunil and Shailesh were testing / fixing Drupal related upgrade issues. It was around 1.00pm (IST), I decided to have Team Meeting in Conference Room. I did quick status check with everyone and ensured everyone was on right track. We also discussed few doubts/issues with team and decided to release alpha around 7.00pm (IST).
