Open-Source Contributions
Open-source software is what keeps us ticking.
Most projects built by us leverage the fantastic Django framework. Django lets us build the interesting parts of our websites, leaving the plumbing to the experts.
Open-source software is often considered "free" as you don't have to pay to use it. This ignores the many (sometimes thousands of) hours of labour that have gone into the development of that software.
So, in the spirit of open-source software we try to actively participate in the communities surrounding the software we use.
django-helpdesk
Originally named jutda-helpdesk, django-helpdesk is a tool for small businesses to track customer support issues (or trouble tickets, or cases, or jobs - the terminology doesn't matter) that was built using Django. We use it ourselves for WhisperGifts, and a number of other organisations use it on a regular basis.
The source-code can be downloaded at GitHub.

DjangoSites
DjangoSites is the list of websites powered by Django. All submissions come from the user community and are moderated by Ross Poulton, founder of Jutda.
Jutda host and maintain the DjangoSites website, which has always been and always will be free to the community to use.
django-menu
A simple tool to let developers of websites built with Django easily incorporate a menu on the page, that can be modified by non-technical users. Features include sub-menus per page and restricting menu items to loggged-in users only.
The source-code is available under a BSD license and can be downloaded from PyPI or from GitHub
pip install django-menu
