CERN are also using puppet as part of our tools transformation to replace 
Quattor (Ben Jones's video from last PuppetConf at 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehVMxbJdld8 and the CHEP paper at 
http://cern.ch/go/N8wp)

Our configurations are at https://github.com/cernops. We're also working 
through many of the standard PuppetForge modules to make sure they understand 
Scientific Linux (as well as RedHat) as an OS family.

Puppet is used at BNL, IN2P3, LBNL. There are a number of other labs looking 
at it.
