Please complete the survey by June 30, 2024.  Information submitted during the survey will remain private to the Crown and involved Officers.  Any results of the survey shared publicly would be in aggregate only.

Announcement: CALON Development Volunteers Wanted

Posted by

Calontir EnsignGreetings Calontir,

Over the past three and a half years, we have been hard at work developing the Calontir Online (CALON) system, which is a WordPress plugin that manages Calontir’s order of precedence, online armorial, authorizations and marshal warrants, marshal reporting, and officer records. This system has helped to streamline maintenance of some of the more than 1 million pieces of data that Calontir’s Webministry maintains.

We are seeking additional volunteers to help us push forward on our future goals for CALON including systems for event and activity submissions, the kingdom calendar, release forms, improved media integration, inventory management, officer reporting, and more.

Desired Skills: 

Ideal candidates would be familiar with computer programming, version control, databases, and RESTful API principles.

CALON development includes programming in PHP, Javascript, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. Volunteers do not need to have experience with these languages – this is a great opportunity to learn.

If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to the Webministry at support@calontir.org.


Sincerely,

The CALON Development Team Gawin Kappler & Ffelix Æskelsson

Bookcases in the library of the University of Leiden, 1610

My time as Kingdom Minister of Arts and Science is coming to a close making it  time to find the next KMoAS. Ideally, my replacement will be found prior to Queen’s Prize so that the incoming Minister can assist and have time to transition before I step down, although I will be available to assist afterwards. Please reach out to me with any questions. Letters of interest should be submitted to  ArtsSciences@Calontir.org, Crown@Calontir.org, Heirs@calontir.org, and Seneschal@Calontir.org.

I would like to thank Master Jurgen for his time as the Martial Studies Deputy. Since he is moving to a new position, the Kingdom is in need of a new Martial Studies Deputy. Please reach out to Master Jurgen at martialstudies@calontir.org with any questions regarding the position. Letters of interest should be submitted to MartialStudies@Calontir.org, ArtsSciences@Calontir.org, Crown@Calontir.org, Heirs@calontir.org, and Seneschal@Calontir.org.
In servizio,
Gianna

Crown Tournament Letters of Intent

Posted by

Calontir Ensign

Although We have ascended the thrones what seems like mere moments ago, one of Our first duties as Crown is to secure Calontir’s line. To that end, Our Crown Tournament will be held on December 2nd in the Barony of Coeur D’Ennui. Should you wish to participate, please submit a letter of intent to Us and Our Senseschale no later than Sunday, November 19. Your letter must contain the following for both Combatant and Consort:

· Name and contact information
· Copy of your identification to verify age and residency
· Copy of your valid SCA membership card
· A statement of the reasons you wish to be Crown and goals should you ascend
· A listing of SCA events you have attended in the last 12 months

Please also review Kingdom Law and Corpora to ensure you meet the requirements for participation. If you have any questions regarding your qualification, please reach out to Our Seneschale promptly.

Crown Tournament will be fought in bouts of two-out-of-three unless the list becomes so large that this would make the tournament excessively long. The Crown will make the final decision regarding bouts the day of the tournament. No weapons restrictions will be imposed.

We thank all of you for your kindness and support of Our beautiful Heartland. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
