The CentOS distribution would not be possible without the hard work and
17b5fb
dedication of a large number of talented people. It's only fair that we
17b5fb
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
17b5fb
the CentOS Project, please join us on irc.freenode.net in #centos-devel or 
17b5fb
via the mailing list at http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/

One of the key reasons we got delayed on the CentOS-6 release was lack of 
17b5fb
suitable build resources, especially when we had to repeatedly build large
17b5fb
chunks of code. Norwood S came forward and worked with me to 
17b5fb
setup a large build machine, then tune the build process and help improve
17b5fb
the overall build, test and validate process we were using. This build
17b5fb
machine he donated to the project was about 5 times more capable than the
17b5fb
entire buildsystem we had. And he did this out of his own pocket, from
17b5fb
his own time, and has since upgraded the machine as well. It's now a 128GB,
17b5fb
48 core machine, with 4 SSD's and 4 sata disks : but the key metric is 
17b5fb
that it can build from source, the entire CentOS-7 distro in under 22 hrs.
17b5fb
17b5fb
Having this capability was key in our ability to build, test and deliver
17b5fb
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,
17b5fb
AZ, USA for his continued support for the project.
