Ok here's my draft=85

I changed around some of the formatting from the 4.0.1/2 to make the flow a=
 little better.

  *   I also focused on pushing everyone to the Release Notes to see the bu=
g fixes since it also has upgrade instructions and much more.
  *   I moved the info about CloudStack to the end since most Press Release=
s contain organization at the end after the quantitive information that is =
being given out.
  *   Tried to keep it pretty close to previous releases


The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the 4.1.1 release of t=
he CloudStack cloud orchestration platform. This is a minor release of the =
4.1.0 branch which released on June 5, 2013. The 4.1.1 release contains mor=
e than 45 bug fixes. As a bug fix release, no new features are included in =
4.1.1.

The 4.1.1 release includes fixes for a number of issues; including problems=
 with snapshots, fixes to documentation, and more. Please see the <Release =
Notes> (Final link to be added) file for a full list of corrected issues in=
 this release and upgrade instructions. As a minor release it is a simple u=
pgrade from 4.1.0 with no architectural changes.

Apache CloudStack is an integrated Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) softw=
are platform that allows users to build feature-rich public and private clo=
ud environments. CloudStack includes an intuitive user interface and rich A=
PI for managing the compute, networking, software, and storage resources. T=
he project became an Apache top level project in March 2013.
