The CentOS distribution would not be possible without the hard work and
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
dedication of a large number of talented people. It's only fair that we
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
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
|
|

d6b8cd |
the CentOS Project, please join us on irc.freenode.net in #centos-devel or

## Special Recognition ##

One of the key reasons we got delayed on the CentOS-6 release was lack of
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
suitable build resources, especially when we had to repeatedly build large
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
chunks of code. Norwood S came forward and worked with me to
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
setup a large build machine, then tune the build process and help improve
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
the overall build, test and validate process we were using. This build
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
machine he donated to the project was about 5 times more capable than the
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
entire buildsystem we had. And he did this out of his own pocket, from
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
his own time, and has since upgraded the machine as well. It's now a 128GB,
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
48 core machine, with 4 SSD's and 4 sata disks : but the key metric is
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
that it can build from source, the entire CentOS-7 distro in under 22 hrs.
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
Having this capability was key in our ability to build, test and deliver
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
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,
|
|
|
d6b8cd |
AZ, USA for his continued support for the project.
