With Joomla 6.1 now available, attention turns to what comes next. Joomla 6.2 is scheduled for release on 13 October 2026, and at the helm are two release managers who bring very different backgrounds to the role. This month we meet Charvi Mehra, whose journey into Joomla began not through code but through a university semester project in Delhi. In just four years she has gone from newcomer to GSoC contributor, GSoC mentor, Bug Squad and CMS Release Team member, and now release manager. She co-manages the 6.2 release with Martin Kopp, whom we will meet next month.
