We are donating $2k worth of advertising to the Open Source pledge

Hey folks, this is a quick post making note of our donation to the Open Source Pledge.

We are donating $2k worth of DEV Advertising this year and hope to contribute more in the future in order to help boost this program and help maintainers and open source thrive — especially outside of strictly-corporate-backed open source.

At DEV we maintain our codebase as free to re-use via Forem and we encourage any initiative that helps push open source forward in a meaningful way.

This is also the reason we dedicated one of the current live Challenges to Hacktoberfest. Please check that out if you are interested in contributing to the broader open source ecosystem.

Happy coding! ❤️

Great work. It's hard to imagine software world without open source.

By the way, the advertisement URL is incorrect: it’s currently https://dev.toadvertise/.

DEV is built on open source software called Forem!
