How to distribute an open source project?

Question

linux

I wrote a program, I want to distribute it under the GPL license. So how, shall we say, "tell the world" about your project? To make it clear the subject of the project, a little information about it:
OS: Linux
SP: C
Graphical interface: GTK +
"Home" for the source: Bitbucket.org
Subject: Web server management with a graphical interface

UPD
Link to the project / Description / Who may need
Probably all programmers are like that, than spend 15 minutes on routine work, a programmer spend 2 hours and write a program that will do boring work instead of him.
I had the same experience when I switched from Windows to Linux a few years ago. To create a virtual host each time you had to create a file in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/", add lines to "/etc/hosts" and restart Apache. Nothing complicated, but at that time it was difficult for me to use the terminal. And on Windows, Denver used it for this.
The search for software for managing virtual hosts with a graphical interface began. At that time, I did not find anything good. It was
decided to create an open source application that would be able to
install a LAMP server, add, edit and delete virtual hosts.

Answer 1

Beatbucket is a fenced sandbox.
Better put it on github or sosforge. If someone needs a project, people will reach out ...
However, for some reason, the history of pulls is not kept. So, counting how many times your project has been downloaded will not work.

Answer 2

As fomistoklus rightly pointed out, you should at least post a link to your project here.
You can effectively let the world know about your project on the relevant thematic sections of Reddit 'a. From Russian-language sites, new projects are promoted on OpenNet and linux.org.ru .
On Reddit, suitable subreddits would be, for example, the following:
/r/opensource
/r/LinuxActionShow (if the project is interesting, they can even show and tell about it in a podcast)

Answer 3

Just tell about your software on popular resources
The last resource is the most important for "promotion", if only because it is the most famous in the world community.
