Fwd: Advertising update for alabaster theme users

FYI, We might start seeing ads on some of the RTD pages, not sure if its worth the effort currently to change themes, but something to be aware of. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Read the Docs <dev(a)readthedocs.org&gt; Date: Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 10:25 PM Subject: Advertising update for alabaster theme users To: eedri(a)redhat.com Hey there, As you might already know, Read the Docs has been using advertising to help build a sustainable business around open source documentation hosting. We call it Ethical Advertising, because we don't allow any thind party scripts, and all the ads are all served from our servers. In the past year, these ads have only been displayed on docs with the Read the Docs theme. We are now changing this, and starting to display ads on the *alabaster* documentation theme. You're getting this email because you own a project that uses alabaster, and will soon start getting ads on it. We wanted to be proactive about this change, and alert you. Our blog post has more details on these changes, including how you might opt out: https://blog.readthedocs.com/ ads-on-other-themes/ Read the Docs is provided for free to all open source projects. Running this service requires multiple people to wear pagers, respond to GitHub issues, and other work that is mostly invisible and thankless. We are using the money generated to help support our community and make the service sustainable, as explained in more depth in this blog post: https://blog.readthedocs.com/ads-on-other-themes/ You can read more about our advertising here: http://docs.readthedocs.io/en/ latest/ethical-advertising.html. We are doing our best to respect our users, while making our service sustainable, and we care that you believe and support the work that we do. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and we will do our best to address them.
