OddBird joins as Django Girls Global Partner!
Happy New Year!
We are excited to start the year by announcing a great company joining us as a global partner - OddBird!
OddBird collaborates with teams at mid-size and large companies to plan, design, and develop custom web applications and design systems. As thoughtful experts, they love to help their clients improve team workflow, lower maintenance costs, and solve problems with technology that help people. They provide the full range of services from brand design, user research, and project management, to Python on the backend, CSS/Sass on the frontend, and JavaScript.
OddBird was founded in 2008 by three siblings with a vision for human-centered software design and development on the web, especially focused on accessibility, performance, integrated design systems, and long-term sustainability. Since then, OddBird has become an industry leader – from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy, to the W3C, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object-Oriented UX, and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow, component libraries, testing, and documentation.
Their clients get to know their tight-knit team on a first-name basis. OddBird is intentionally small, enabling them to move nimbly and integrate with teams at larger companies like Adobe, Google, Mozilla, and SRAM for a big impact. They all learn what makes each project special, and strategize together – keeping the backend, frontend, and design integrated for a shared understanding of each company’s goals and user needs.
OddBird staff frequently give conference talks and workshops, write articles and speak on podcasts to teach people how to create more resilient web applications and design systems – improving team processes, communication, site performance, and accessibility.
OddBird has supported us in the past for years through Patreon and we are excited to have them back as our Silver sponsor.
Thank you OddBird!

RunCode joins as Django Girls Global Partner!
We are excited to announce another excellent company joining us as Django Girls’ global partner, RunCode!
Software development is made easy with the emerging Cloud Development Environment systems. RunCode.io is always trying to make developer lives easy by providing pre-built ready-to-code workspaces. Now anyone can start coding with the click of a button.
They mainly focus on:
- Live collaboration
- Isolated development environment
- Security first
- Code from any device
- Pre-built environment ready to code with the click of a button
- Connect with your favourite git hosting (GitHub GitLab, BitBucket).
Developers around the world spend hours setting up their development environments, laptops, and machines, resulting in expensive upgrades, and all the efforts may be for nothing if a single hardware error occurs. The solution to this problem is the - ”Cloud”! Imagine how wonderful it would be if we have the same development tools in the cloud, with almost zero installation/setting-up efforts at a very attractive and economical price.
RunCode has taken up this challenge, and brings the “RunCode cloud development environment”. RunCode is a cloud-based, robust, secure, ready-to-code developer workspace, that provides a high-performance & fully configurable coding environment to developers. Their browser-based platform enables seamless collaboration between teams across operating systems and devices on a real-time basis, at the click of a button.
RunCode Workspaces support over 40+ Linux-based programming languages, 11+ databases, and 22+ frameworks thereby opening up a world of opportunities for the code-indulgent folks. RunCode Workspaces are powered by 8 core CPU, 16 GB RAM, 30 GB cloud storage, and VS Code IDE or Jupyter lab for data science and more to come.
Spinning up a workspace is straightforward, the user simply has to open https://runcode.io/ and click on the pre-configured templates, or by adding one line anchor tag to the readme.md file, users can open their repositories on RunCode Workspaces. Real-time collaboration and access from any device are the added advantages of the platform.
They are investing heavily in the open-source ecosystem by offering unlimited access to eligible developers under our open-source contributor program. Likewise, they have students, educational institutions, startups, and incubators programs.
Thank you RunCode!
