We use various tools to help us stay on track and do things for us. We believe that tools are awesome and there is absolutely no reason to write a single line of code if someone else can do this for us. Here is a list of tools we use, and what do we use it for.
We're using a non-profit version of Google Apps (free, forever). We use it for creating accounts for each event ([email protected]), and aliases ([email protected] -> [email protected]).
Login details are in 1Password.
We use Trello for managing tasks and assignments. Our main Trello board is the one public for everyone: Django Girls Trello. We use it for almost all tasks.
Make sure to always assign yourself to thing you've committed yourself to do, and move the card to "in progress" or "done" to let others know that things are happening.
Slack is our real time communication channel, and you can read more about how we use it in the Start Sparkling Guide.
Slack is also used by all of our organizers, supporters and friends of Django Girls. There is no general rule who can be there, but we want to keep it safe for everyone to express their ideas, so be mindful about that. Only the Support Team has the permission to invite others to Slack.
GitHub is our main documentation / code sharing tool. All of our repos are public and you can find them here.
We use one shared Django Girls folder to manage our files. Basically, every single file we create should end up there, in a proper folder. If you put it in the folder, it's gonna be automatically shared with the whole team.
Make sure to notify us that you put a new file there if you want us to know about this, because Google Drive doesn't send a notification about this.
We use various mailing lists (on Google Groups) to make it easier for us to communicate in a big group. Read more about mailing lists here.
Gitbook is a tool we use to publish Tutorial, Organizer's Manual, Coaching Guide, Tutorial Extensions and Translation Guidelines.
The Gitbook books are linked to Github via webhooks, so whenever something is commited to master, the book will rebuild itself automatically. At Gitbook you can go in "Activity" tab to see all builds of the book.
It's also handy to install Gitbook locally if you want to test some bigger PR to the tutorial before uploading it to Gitbook.
Crowdin is our tutorial translation tool. To be honest, we haven't quite figured it out yet.
1Password for Teams is where we keep all of our passwords for services that doesn't support adding members to accounts.
You should keep your 1Password really safe!
Tumblr is what we use as our blogging platform.
PythonAnywhere hosts our djangogirls.org website.
Mailchimp is a tool we use for newsletters and marketing campaigns. We've got a template that we always use there.
CloudFlare is our DNS, and they also give us SSL for free :)
Since we are an open source project, we can request free PyCharm licences.
