The CentOS distribution would not be possible without the hard work and
de0bf5
dedication of a large number of talented people. It's only fair that we
de0bf5
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
de0bf5
the CentOS Project, please join us on irc.freenode.net in #centos-devel or 
de0bf5
via the mailing list at http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/

## Special Recognition ##

One of the key reasons we got delayed on the CentOS-6 release was lack of 
de0bf5
suitable build resources, especially when we had to repeatedly build large
de0bf5
chunks of code. Norwood S came forward and worked with me to 
de0bf5
setup a large build machine, then tune the build process and help improve
de0bf5
the overall build, test and validate process we were using. This build
de0bf5
machine he donated to the project was about 5 times more capable than the
de0bf5
entire buildsystem we had. And he did this out of his own pocket, from
de0bf5
his own time, and has since upgraded the machine as well. It's now a 128GB,
de0bf5
48 core machine, with 4 SSD's and 4 sata disks : but the key metric is 
de0bf5
that it can build from source, the entire CentOS-7 distro in under 22 hrs.
de0bf5
de0bf5
Having this capability was key in our ability to build, test and deliver
de0bf5
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,
de0bf5
AZ, USA for his continued support for the project.
