[Mageia-i18n] Press release for translation

[Patricia Fraser]

Hi all,

PLEASE DON'T RELEASE THIS YET!

The text between ----- is our Press Release for Mageia 2. It is missing
one link, to the blog post which won't go up until all isos are ready.

When we're ready to release, I'll send an email and it would be great
if you could then send out this release to any press in your country -
online, blogs, news sites and so on.

Thanks!
