Where can I advertise an open source project?

I'm going to be starting up an Open Source project which is an XML based forms (as in 开发者_运维问答HTML forms) engine written in .NET and was wondering what advice people could give on promoting open source projects.

Writing articles is a great way to promote your projects. I personally promote my Open Source projects using CodeProject. There are several others, but it's a good way to demonstrate the functionality of your project, illustrate why others would find it useful, and otherwise promote your hard work.

I would strongly recommend to you to have a look at excellent book about that:

Producing Open Source Software

It is comprehensive book discussing about open source projects, how to get the most out of them and more.
