Discussions about the first official release of Haiku -- to be known as Alpha 1 -- have been taking place on the Haiku development list as back as early last year; but there was never a firm commitment as to when it would happen. That has now changed, and we finally have firm word from the project development team that the target release date for Alpha 1 will be this coming September 14. This comes approximately 8 years after the project kicked off as OpenBeOS back in August 2001, soon after Be Inc. closed its doors.
