Suggestions on a good way to promote a free resource
As a developer, I've learned a heck of a lot from the global community and I believe like any community, you need to participate and contribute.

I've worked on several small projects that I want to offer up for free, but I want them to actually be used.

For the sincerity of this post, I am not going to promote them here.

What are some good ways to offer a free resource like a widget that does x,y, and z, for free.  With an honest-to-god intent to just contribute?
