The CentOS distribution would not be possible without the hard work and
Pablo Greco 837d0a
dedication of a large number of talented people. It's only fair that we
Pablo Greco 837d0a
acknowledge the time and effort that they have put into the distribution.

We are always in need of more volunteers. If you're interested in joining
Pablo Greco 837d0a
the CentOS Project, please join us on irc.freenode.net in #centos-devel or

One of the key reasons we got delayed on the CentOS-6 release was lack of 
Pablo Greco 837d0a
suitable build resources, especially when we had to repeatedly build large
Pablo Greco 837d0a
chunks of code. Norwood S came forward and worked with me to 
Pablo Greco 837d0a
setup a large build machine, then tune the build process and help improve
Pablo Greco 837d0a
the overall build, test and validate process we were using. This build
Pablo Greco 837d0a
machine he donated to the project was about 5 times more capable than the
Pablo Greco 837d0a
entire buildsystem we had. And he did this out of his own pocket, from
Pablo Greco 837d0a
his own time, and has since upgraded the machine as well. It's now a 128GB,
Pablo Greco 837d0a
48 core machine, with 4 SSD's and 4 sata disks : but the key metric is 
Pablo Greco 837d0a
that it can build from source, the entire CentOS-7 distro in under 22 hrs.
Pablo Greco 837d0a
Pablo Greco 837d0a
Having this capability was key in our ability to build, test and deliver
Pablo Greco 837d0a
CentOS-7 as rapidly as we have been able to.

We'd like to dedicate the CentOS-7 Release to Mr Norwood S, of Phoenix,
Pablo Greco 837d0a
AZ, USA for his continued support for the project.
