Thanks, Kristoffer.

Indeed: I don't see anythin= g on the CloudStack blog (nothing posted since July 2015). The CloudStack h= ome page is a bit out of date as well.
 
 
...and announce@= hasn't had a posting since January 2015...
 
I would recommen= d the marketing@ team consider a bit of a reboot to help get the word out t= here a bit more efficiently.
 
Warmly,

Thanks so much, Kri= stoffer.
 
You are correct re:= the blog URI (seems I had last posted there a year ago!).
 
Re: lists, I believ= e the announcement also goes to the dev list, but in abbreviated form. If y= ou could please confirm with marketing@, that would be great.=
 
And thank you for h= elping spread the word on your end as well. As I was emailing with Madan&nb= sp;(who also offered to help), we need to re-establish the CloudStack disse= mination team, as I technically work exclusively on the ASF side of things = (except on major announcements such as this).
 
I'll ping the team = one we're live. Again, the timeframe is 6AM ET (UTC -5), so I'll be back in= touch in >2 hours.

Hi Sally,
 <= /span>
 <= /span>
Can you confirm that = the URL of the CloudStack Blog is https://blo= gs.apache.org/cloudstack/?
 <= /span>
Also confirm that the= mailing lists for distribution of the announcement would be announce@, use= rs@ and marketing@ (http://cloudstack.ap= ache.org/mailing-lists.html)?
 <= /span>
 <= /span>
So, in short I'll do = these things:
  1. Post to CloudStack Bl= og (pending access being provided - request sent to marketing@ mailing list= )
  2. Post to announce@ mai= ling list
  3. Post to users@ mailin= g list
  4. Post to marketing@ ma= iling list
I'll also post the sa= me on our own blog and re-tweet the official Apache CloudStack twitter hand= le postings via @kristofferjon and @cloudcentral

OK, so I ramped it up to tweet out on @CloudStack via t= he Hootsuite account.
 
I'll double-check once we're live o= n the newswire and will push manually if needed.
 
Please see if there's a way you can obtain = publishing credentials for the CloudStack blog --worst case scenario we can= point all links to the ASF "Foundation" post (copy below; short = URL http://s.apache.org/VfP). 
 
You should be able to s= end emails to the requisite @cloudstack.apache.org lists, as those are mode= rated internally.
 
What else do you need f= rom me to publish tomorrow?
 
Thanks again for your h= elp, Kristoffer!

I don't have generic project credentials (o= nly ones specific to my ASF account)...I think you'll need to ask the marke= ting list for these credentials.

"I'm ver= y excited with launch of the Apache CloudStack version 4.6," said Cyra= no Rizzo, CIO of the University of Sao-Paulo. "This version brought ma= ny new features and benefits, such as the case in resilience with the new r= edundant router for VPC, the capability to rapid deployment, demo and test = to run the Apache CloudStack inside Docker that will speed the growth, the = possibility to manage the resources with Graphite, the ease of upload templ= ates and volumes, among many others, this version also brought many improve= ments, I'm very happy with one in particular that makes SAML plugin to prod= uction grade, this functionality is helping me to build a huge project call= ed interCloud that intend to federate many public universities across the B= razil with Single Sign On."
