"So, how do you help your community help you? If you have a motivated community, it’s actually pretty easy — but requires some nudging at first to get the ball rolling:

"Provide artwork and banners for the community to display on their own blogs. For example, the openSUSE Project has buttons and banners to display on blogs and other community sites.

"Create a list on Twitter or group on Identi.ca for your project. Keep them reasonable, but definitely have at least one easy to find list/group for your project."
