[MR] December Acorn received today - 15th

[Rachel/Rozsa]

>From my experience - if that is all that is posted - then the autocrats may
not have completed a flyer yet.  I know, at least in our Barony, that is a
problem that we have been working on.   There has been an occasion or two
where we were scrambling to get our flyer in so that it could be published
(and we could be official).  And from what was put out at the Seneschal's
meeting at Unevent, it appears many branches have done the same thing over
the past year and it is something we have all been asked to work on.  (Thank
you Lady Cassandra for being so forgiving...  :)

Obviously if the autocrats are not getting them done in a timely manner,
there is no way the Chronicler's office can disseminate the information to
the populace.

With the Kingdom website you also run into the inability to publish the
flyers until they are published in the Acorn - like the letters and such.
And from what I understand they are working on a new program that should be
up before too much longer, SPIKE2, that will list the information similar to
the extended version in the Acorn - autocrat, site information, activities,
etc. on the Kingdom site.

If you find an event - watch the elists - most events will publish their
flyer everywhere as soon as they get them put together.  The majority of
which usually hit the MR at least two or three times. Very often if you go
to the branch's home page they will have additional information there.

If you are having a hard time figuring out where the homepage is - on the
front page of the Kingdom website there is a place under Seneschal that has
a listing of all the branches in the Kingdom with links to their home pages.

Of course if you see an event title that looks interesting - there is no
reason why you can't pop an email off to the MR asking if anyone has any
information regarding the event.  Very often you will find that some people
may take the opportunity to just inundate you with information regarding the
event.  :)

Hopefully that helps!  I know it isn't exactly the response you were hoping
for.

That is very true, but it only shows the Event Name, Host Group, and Date.
I for one would like a bit more information than that to make my decision
on.  Otherwise I'll just end up going to events that I have been to before
and were fun last year, not a good way to plan things.  At the very least
I'd like to see the kingdom calendar link to the site the Host group has
created for the event (if the Host has gone to the effort to make one, make
it easily available to everyone!!)

  I actually checked the online calendar a little bit ago - and it appears
  that they have everything listed right now through the end of 2005.

  http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/calendar.htm

  I think what we all run into with that is towards the end of the year we
  were trying to find out what is planned in 2005 and it wasn't there yet.
I
  noticed that 2005 came up after December's Acorn was published.

  I don't know if that is something that can be adjusted or not, as I too
use
  that calendar quite often myself and was thankful when 2005 appeared!  :)

  > I don't think it's a matter of interest or not.. it's SOCIETY policy
that
  we can't put these things on the web until after the hard copies have been
  sent.  Once the Acorn has been sent out, the letters can be put on the
web..
  but not until.  In the SCA, there is very little (in terms of policy
changes
  and etc.) that is "official" until after it's appeared in PRINT once.

actually
  received things four to six months after they were sent).  I don't blame
the
  sender, I blame the post office.

  one we have doesn't go far enough into the future to be of much use.
