I've started on this and all the changes to get etherpad servers running on xenial appear to be in place. Hieradata/ansible group vars have been updated and a new etherpad-dev01.openstack.org has been created.

In the process of doing this I discovered that ansible and puppet were recently (like in the last 8 hours) no longer running. The root cause seems to be citycloud has removed the Lon1 region which broken inventory generation. I've pushed https://review.openstack.org/#/c/610668/ to fix that and will work on getting ansible and puppet running again so that I can finish up with etherpad-dev.openstack.org upgrades.

If you'd like to help out please grab a server or three at https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/201808-infra-server-upgrades-and-cleanup and we'll work through the list together.

Thank you,
