    <h1>CentOS 7 is here</h1>
    <p>The CentOS Project is pleased to <a href="http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-July/020393.html">announce</a> the immediate availability of CentOS 7 for x86_64, including images for <a href="https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/centos/">docker</a>, and various cloud providers. There are many fundamental changes in this release, compared to previous releases of CentOS. Notably the inclusion of systemd, Gnome3, and a default filesystem of XFS. For more information about what makes CentOS 7 stand out, please see our <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7">release notes</a>.</p>
    <p>With the release of CentOS 7, the board will be able to focus on getting the Community Builders online, and facilitating the progress for the several <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup">Special Interest Groups</a> that have been on hold during the release cycle.</p>
    <p>Groups such as OpenStack, Xen4, Gluster, and oVirt can now customize CentOS Linux directly <em>inside the project</em>, building CentOS variants for new workloads on top of the slow-and-steady core platform. <a href="/variants">Read more about the variants proposal&raquo;</a></p>
