I saw in the anouncement for the upcoming Boston, MA conference that there will be demos of CentOS on an ARM7 system. I am wondering: does this mean that there is somewhere out there a build of some version of CentOS that might run on a Raspberry Pi (which has an ARM7 processor)?

The Pi2 is armv7 .. the original pi is armv6.
There is a pi2 image here:

side note: just for fun I could do some package install of that armv7hl tree on my cell phone device (Jolla with SailfishOS). Albeit
# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.15-1.5.1.armv7hl
(centos7 glibc is 2.17) the execution of some tools was not a problem (zip etc.).
