Hi everyone here,
I'm really intrigued by this project. I've been a Mac admin for a long time, currently transitioning away from that role and my current role does a lot of work in ansible so this project really speaks to me. Currently puppet is the way to go with a lot of OS X management (DeployStudio for imaging, Munki for package management, Puppet for configuration management). I think battleschool could very well be a good options for those who look at puppet/boxen not being the right solution for them for whatever the reasons maybe. A lot of Mac admins tend to be Python geeks (or at the very least enthusiasts) so I think something like this project could speak to them.
Maybe putting an announcement of this project to the Mac Enterprise mailing list / group could generate some more new blood for the project. Just a thought.
