[OSGeoLive] Draft press release for OSGeoLive 13.1

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello,

thanks for the press release. I can publish send the press release, when 
13.1 is published.

I will send the mail about the archive before - @cameron could you 
please review again. I added more text. And maybe you have a nice story 
about  the early versions.
