As part of our ethical advertising model, Read the Docs gives away 10% of our ad inventory to projects, conferences, and other initiatives in the open source community. Many of these projects operate as Read the Docs did in the past with little to no income. These are not groups that traditionally have the resources to use paid advertising.
We have run ads for:
- Various Python conferences from PyCon to smaller regional conferences
- Many topic or framework specific conferences such as Djangocon US and Sustain
- Python Software Foundation
- Mozilla
- Beeware - tools and libraries for building native apps in Python
- Godot - an open source game engine
- Kiwi TCMS - an open source test case management system
- World Possible - an education non-profit
- Write the Docs - a series of events for documentatarians
If you run a conference, non-profit, or a funding strapped open source project, we would love to help you get the word out. Make sure you qualify for our community ads and send us an email to be considered for the program.
If you have any feedback about our community advertising program, we'd love to hear from you too.
