[MR] Stefan's Florilegium article for August

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for August.

If you have written some good documentation for an A&S project or a  paper 
for an A&S contest or if you have created a handout for a  class, please 
consider sending them to me for possible inclusion in  the Florlegium. If 
A&S documentation or a class handout can stand  alone without the actual 
project or the class, then it may make a  good addition to the Florilegium. 
My standard policy is that the  copyright remains with the author and  will 
take updates at any time.  This means, for instance, that you can always 
replace your  documentation with a more polished article later. In the 
meantime,  folks can still be learning from the work you have done.

I am still looking for employment. If you have found the Florilegium useful 
and think my work on it shows characteristics which you think an employer 
might also be interested in, please consider linking to me in Linked-In 
(www.linkedIn.com) and providing a recommendation. My profile there is at: 
http://www.linkedin.com/in/marksharris

I will be at Pennsic again this year, and will be camping with SPCA  in W10, 
down by the lake, opposite the end of the peninsula and near  Orluk's Oasis. 
Please feel free to drop by and say hello.

Thanks,
  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.
