Being proprietary or open source should not affect your marketing at all. If transitioning to open source is primarily for marketing purposes, it is likely to backfire.

i am not asking if being open source being itself a marketing a strategy, but how people discover them, and what channels work for getting devs to try them.

Figuring that out is your main work. Creating a community is a full time job.
