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:

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.

Cheers,
The Read the Docs Team
