[MR] Stefan's Florilegium article for March

[Olwen the Odd]

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.

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.
