It is announced both on GitHub Blog and in GitHub announcements, see http://github.com/blog/717-git-user-survey-2010 http://img.skitch.com/20100914-q4wuyf6i8f2yt9ef2tnxaifc1a.png Besides that, it is announced on Git Wiki, on Git Homepage, and also on repo.or.cz, git.kernel.org, GitHub, Gitorious, InDefero, Codaset, Codebase, Unfuddle, Savannah, SourceForge and Beanstalk. It would be (or is) announced on Bettercodes.org. I have send request for=20 announcement also to Codesion, Assembla, The Chaw, ProjectLocker, CipherHive and GitFarm, but I didn't get any response yet (I might not found and used correct contact information). I am still sending announcements to other git hosting sites... --=20 Jakub Narebski Poland
