Thanks so much, Giles!
Can you please confirm your title, both at $dayjob as well as with the ASF --e.g., are you a member of the Apache CloudStack PMC or are you a Committer? (We'll need to include some sort of Apache affiliation here, as it's a project announcment, originating from the ASF)
Also, I've edited the quote to read:
"We are delighted and excited to be releasing version 4.4.1 of Apache CloudStack," said Giles Sirett, TITLE. "This latest version of CloudStack reflects months of hard work by our diverse developer community and brings even more features to help our service-provider and enterprise users enhance their cloud platforms. Apache CloudStack continues to grow in both deployments and developer community size, and is the platform of choice for thousands of organisations that need to build IaaS environments quickly and securely with a proven, production-grade, technology."
I presume you're OK with this, yes?
Many thanks again,
Sally

Getting late here, but this should do (feel free to hack/edit)
We are delighted and excited to be releasing version 4.4.1 of Apache CloudStack. This latest version of CloudStack reflects months of hard work by our diverse developer community and brings even more features to help our service-provider and enterprise users enhance their public, private or hybrid cloud platforms. Despite not always grabbing the headlines, Apache CloudStack continues to grow in both deployments and developer community size.

Getting late here, but this should do (feel free to hack/edit)
We are delighted and excited to be releasing version 4.4.1 of Apache CloudStack. This latest version of CloudStack reflects months of hard work by our diverse developer community and brings even more features to help our service-provider and enterprise users enhance their public, private or hybrid cloud platforms. Despite not always grabbing the headlines, Apache CloudStack continues to grow in both deployments and developer community size. CloudStack is already in use in thousands of organisations and continues to be the platform of choice for organisations that need to build IaaS environments quickly and securely with a proven, production-grade, technology.
Kind Regards
