Pelican is a static site generator that requires no database or server-side logic. Chronological content (e.g., articles, blog posts) as well as static pages. Integration with external services. Site themes (created using Jinja2 templates). Publication of articles in multiple languages. Generation of Atom and RSS feeds. Code syntax highlighting via Pygments. Import existing content from WordPress, Dotclear, or RSS feeds. Fast rebuild times due to content caching and selective output writing. Extensible via a rich plugin ecosystem, Pelican Plugins. Pelican considers “articles” to be chronological content, such as posts on a blog, and thus associated with a date. The idea behind “pages” is that they are usually not temporal in nature and are used for content that does not change very often (e.g., “About” or “Contact” pages). Pelican tries to be smart enough to get the information it needs from the file system.

Venn isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer, whether BYO or company issued.

Venn is a secure workspace for remote work that isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer. Work lives in a secure local enclave that is company controlled, where all data is encrypted and access is managed. Within the enclave – visually indicated by the Blue Border around these applications – business activity is walled off from anything that happens on the personal side. As a result, work and personal uses can now safely coexist on the same computer.
