Note that there are many other hosters besides GitHub, like Bitbucket, Savannah and SourceForge. Also, there are quite a lot of self-hosted projects out there.

So aggregation services like Freshmeat and Ohloh are usually a better source of information. Freshmeat is great for announcing new releases and makeing new projects public. Ohloh is great for summarizing and counting lines of your public work and contributions. For example:

Thanks. I wasn't aware of Savannah (http://savannah.gnu.org/) or Ohloh.net

The great thing about Savannah is that it's funded by the FSF, so in contrast to SourceForge, so they care more about the Free Software projects and less about monetizing them. In particular, there are no ads, the whole hosting system is based on Free Software and the website is fast (not overloaded).

Other independent hosters are Gna (http://gna.org/) by the FSF France, as well as BerliOS (http://www.berlios.de/) which has been bootstrapped partly by German public funds.

Wikipedia provides a really good overview:
