We had a chat last week in the #openstack-infra channel[0] and as a
project very dedicated to providing the most open infrastructure
possible for everyone who may later consume our infrastructure for
other projects we'd really rather work with JBossAS (community
version) rather than getting a license for EAP. I also quickly learned
that Ubuntu's package for JBossAS is unusuable for us, sigh :)

I understand this makes things more difficult, but our hope is that we
can work to make Zanata more easily consumable on the JBossAS
community platform. My delay in responding has been because I've been
struggling to get Zanata going on the community version, so any
pointers would be helpful (also happy to schedule a chat on IRC some
time this week if that is more efficient).

Finally, it would be great if you could send over the Puppet manifests
you have (you're welcome to send them directly to me for now) so I can
start getting a better idea about the structure we're aiming for.

Thanks again.
