[MR] Stefan's Florilegium article for September

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for September.

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 have recently added several good handouts that I got at Pennsic  classes I 
attended, after getting permission from the teachers to do  so. Since I 
could only attend a fraction of the classes which were  available there, I'm 
sure there are plenty of other useful,  interesting handouts I haven't seen. 
If you taught a class at Pennsic  and provided a handout for your class, I'd 
like to consider adding  your handout as well.

I am still looking for employment as an Electronics Engineer. 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 then providing a 
recommendation. My profile there is at: http://

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.
