[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan's Florilegium article for March

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for March, describing what  
is new in the Florilegium this month.

If you are the editor of an SCA publication and would like to be put  
on my editors list to get this article several weeks in advance so  
you can get it into your publication, please contact me for more  
information. If you run an SCA oriented website, I also publish a  
version of this monthly article formatted for web publication. If you  
would like to get that, again please email me for details.

If you are going to be at the upcoming Gulf Wars event next week,  
please come by and say hello. I will be staying with my barony, the  
Barony of Bryn Gwlad in the block across from the Ansteorran gate.

I will also be teaching two different classes at Gulf Wars.  The  
first will be my usual hands-on pewter casting class and will be  
taught twice. Once early in the week and one near the end.

The second class will be on the Florilegium. It's history, what sort  
of stuff gets put in there, what doesn't, suggestions and hints on  
how to use it and how you can help out with this project.

The Florilegium class should be in the middle of the week, but since  
the class schedule doesn't seem to be on the event web site, I don't  
know the exact times and dates right now. Please check your Gulf War  
booklet or at Information Point for the exact date, time and location.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  
this information available to others, I have placed this information  
in a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  
article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  
it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for  
more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  
details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  
another way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  
the site. Any donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  
overhead costs of keeping the site running.
