Climate:Red OSS is made up of several repositories:

- digitalinteraction/climatered-server - A Node.js based server responsible for registration, attendance, coffee-chat and more.
And since the 2020 conference, continued development has lead to:
- digitalinteraction/deconf-ui-toolkit - A Vue.js component library and storybook environment
- digitalinteraction/deconf-api-toolkit - An Node.js library for creating conference backend servers.
- digitalinteraction/deconf-shared - A package of TypeScript types to be shared between the ui and api toolkits
The climate.red conference featured the following:
- An atrium, which was the homepage for attendees with live stats and helpful links to get about
- A What's On page to preview the schedule before the conference goes live
- A chronological schedule for the conference with temporal aspects to show the live sessions during the conference
- Detailed pages for each session with relevant links and embeds, for example, embedding a YouTube video or a Zoom call-to-action and linking to a Miro board
- Registration and magic-link based login pages to quickly get into the conference via an email
- WebRTC-based coffeechat with match-making based on the conference's topics
- Real-time interpretation during live events, so attendees can tune-in to live interpretation and experience the conference in English, French, Spanish or Arabic
- An interpretation portal for interpreters to enter live booths and broadcast audio over a live YouTube or Vimeo video for attendees
- Everything is translated into English, French, Spanish and Arabic and supports right-to-left and left-to-right orientations
