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

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.

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.
