Jacob,
There's no central authority for such things, but there are certainly
good ways to announce and distribute your stuff.
If "donating" means supplying source under open source terms, then
FreshMeat (http://www.freshmeat.net) is a great forum for announcement
and distribution. If you're looking to host a development and
bug-tracking environment accessible to open source developers, you might
check out SourceForge (http://www.sourceforge.net).
If instead you mean giving away free Linux versions of proprietary
software, you won't find as much help from the open source community, but
there are other ways: distributing from your Web site, doing deals with
distros like RedHat and Caldera... basically, the sort of stuff done by
Sun StarOffice and many other such products.
