| The CentOS distribution would not be possible without the hard work and |
| dedication of a large number of talented people. It's only fair that we |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| suitable build resources, especially when we had to repeatedly build large |
| chunks of code. Norwood S came forward and worked with me to |
| setup a large build machine, then tune the build process and help improve |
| the overall build, test and validate process we were using. This build |
| machine he donated to the project was about 5 times more capable than the |
| entire buildsystem we had. And he did this out of his own pocket, from |
| his own time, and has since upgraded the machine as well. It's now a 128GB, |
| 48 core machine, with 4 SSD's and 4 sata disks : but the key metric is |
| 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 |
| 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, |
| AZ, USA for his continued support for the project. |
