I can help.
I have been using CentOS for a long time. Somewhere pre-2000 I think I 
moved my main client from SCO to Linux. I remember starting with 
Mandrake but not sure when I moved them to CentOS.

I am SysOp (and a lot of other things) for a small in-house ISP (web 
sites, email, nexus, svn, DNS) and am setting up a microserves app using 
Spring, Consul, Keycloak, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.

One of my projects is to get Centos running on a rack of raspberry Pis 
to replace all my existing servers.

I don't get involved with OS internals but can help with a System 
Administration POV and a love for fixing English text.
I can read and write a bit of French but probably not enough to be useful.

I don't have a lot of free time but can probably find a few hours a month.
