Budget Meeting, College of Heralds, Letter of Intent

Hello Æthelmearc! Your Gazette editors have noticed there are two separate meetings occurring virtually Thursday that you may be interested in… at least, we hope they’re separate (they are)! 


Master Illadore, Kingdom Seneschal notes that the Æthelmearc Budget meeting will be held on Zoom on this Thursday at 7:30pm. Links will be posted to the mailing list and our official social media outlets closer to that time.


Meesteres Odriana vander Brugghe has the following to say about the Heraldic commenting meeting:

This Thursday, 5 January 2023 at 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Dame Elsbeth will be holding Heraldic Commenting over Zoom.

We will be jointly commenting on the Aethelmearc Internal Letter of Intent. If there is time, we may comment on other items as well.

There is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

We can find ways to include you or you can just join and listen. Also, feel free to join us if you have any question about names or armory that you would like to submit – we can help you with what information the College of Heralds needs in order to pass your name, heraldry, or badge.

Please contact Dame Elsbeth at elsbeth (at) pobox (dot) com for the Zoom information.

Also, if you would like to add this event to your online calendar, please follow this link. It will immediately take you to where you can add the event to your calendar.

Call for Letters, Letters of intent, Officer News, Signet

Greeting unto the Sylvan Kingdom of Æthelmearc:

It is time to call for Letters of Intent from the Sylvan Signet’s office. This position requires a highly organized individual with excellent communication skills both in writing and in person, interpersonal skills, and flexibility.  It also requires familiarity with platforms such as Google Docs, both in Google Sheets and Excel spreadsheets, as well as being available via email and other preferred platforms on a regular basis. This position needs an average of 10 to 20 hours a week depending on the reign (summer vs. winter).

To this end, we wish to offer an outline of some of the work that is done by the Signet’s office:

  • Coordinate the assigning of scrolls: including, but not limited to coordinating illuminators, wordsmiths, and calligraphers, and the transition of the scroll to its final destination.
  • Keep detailed records of assignments, both current and backlogs.
  • Providing physical and digital copies of the docket to Their Majesties, their Jewel Herald, substitute Heralds, and the Silver Buccle Herald.
  • Assign, coordinate, and monitor assignments provided to deputies. Deputy roles can include: drop-dead, education, backlogs, regional, website, special projects, the scribal retreat, and fundraising.
  • Promote and foster the scribal community
  • Curia reports
  • Ordering vellum for each reign and assigning the County and Ducal scrolls

The specific policies of the Signet’s Office can be found here, which includes many of the above mentioned items, as well as a few other guidelines for those that are interested.

If you have any questions about the position, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Signet _at_aethelmearc.org or through IM. If you would like to be considered for the position, please submit your resume and a letter of interest to king_at_aethelmearc.org, queen_at_aethelmearc.org and seneschal_at_aethelmearc.org.

Silver Buccle

The Report of the Ӕtherial Court of Their Sylvan Majesties, Maynard and Liadain, King and Queen of Ӕthelmearc held on the thirtieth Day of January anno Societatis 55, Baron Brandubh O’Donnghaile, Jewel Herald.

Baron Brandubh O’Donnghaile begged a boon of Their Majesties, that he might be allowed to pass the Office of Silver Buccle Principal Herald of Ӕthelmearc to his successor Jorundr hinn rotinn. Their Majesties Maynard and Liadain gave their assent and invite Drotinn Jorundr hinn rotinn into Their Court.

Drotinn Jorundr did confirm that is was his wish to take up the mantle of Silver Buccle Herald of Ӕthelmearc, and Their Majesties received his oath of Service as King of Arms for the Kingdom of Ӕthelmearc.

Baron Bramdubh then stepped back to join the Brotherhood Of Old Buccles, Silver as a past Silver Buccle Herald, and he invited THLady Sophie Davenport to join him with the order of the B.O.O.B.S. in thanks for her service to the Kingdom of Ӕthelmearc as Silver Buccle Principal Herald.

Their Majesties thanked both Baron Brandubh and THLady Sophie for their support of the kingdom.

Court Closed.

Society-Wide Virtual Known World Heralds & Scribes Symposium Includes a Heralds’ Point

19 Tuesday Jan 2021

Heraldry, Heralds & Scribes, Known World Heralds & Scribes, KWHSS

Greetings Ӕthelmearc,

In conjunction with Known Word Heralds and Scribes Symposium being held this weekend, there will be a Virtual Heralds Point! See below for signups to join in and consult on names and arms for gentles From across the Known World!

Cheers,
Brandubh, Silver Buccle


The SCA College of Arms will be hosting a Virtual Heralds Point for three weeks beginning on Sunday, Jan 24th. Whether you’ve been meaning to get something registered for a while but can’t find your local herald, or you’re a herald looking for a little more consulting work, this is a great opportunity to get something moving. Links to the sign-up forms can be found at http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldspoint/.

The best part of this consulting table is that we’ll be taking electronic payments via Paypal for submissions. So if you’ve been putting off submitting, this is the time to do it! The hope is that it will be very flexible, a submitter can enter their ideas and preferred forms of contact, and a herald will get in touch and try to help them through the process, either slowly by email over the course of a number of days, or in one hit over a zoom meeting, whatever it takes. Sign up today over at http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldspoint/.

Thanks!

Lillia

Important News from the Kingdom Webminister

12 Saturday Dec 2020

Posted by aethgazette in Announcements, Fencing, Heavy List, Heraldry, Officer Announcements

Webminister

THIS CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KINGDOM EMAIL AND DOC SERVER. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO PEOPLE WHO WILL NEED THIS INFORMATION. (Frankly, it is all important!!)

Good afternoon, Æthelmearc Royalty, Kingdom Officers, Guild Heads, Group Seneschals, and all who currently have groups that reside on the Kingdom Web Server, and the Kingdom’s Populace.

This is a VERY exciting time for the Kingdom’s Webministry!! With this said, there is much housekeeping to keep all aware of recent and upcoming changes.

We have been in the midst of setting up our Kingdom’s Google Account. I am very thankful for our team of Google Deputies who have helped brainstorm, write policies, and worked on creating specific Kingdom accounts on the backend of our Google Server.

New Kingdom Email Accounts

Soon we will have our first wave of Kingdom accounts set up. These accounts will be for all Royalty, Kingdom Officers, Guild Heads, Group Seneschals, and all who currently have groups that reside on the Kingdom Web Server. If you have had a forwarder in the past on the Kingdom server, it will now be an official email account on the Kingdom Google server. The Kingdom will no longer be forwarding emails and you will need to log in to check your email account. You will be receiving credentials to log in to your Kingdom Google account at the address you have been receiving your Kingdom email. If you are unsure of what email that is, please contact us at ae.google@aethelmearc.org (until the switch, then remove the “ae.”) and one of us will respond with information in a timely manner.

Groups and positions that will have automatic creation of accounts from this move include:

– All Kingdom Officers (that are listed on the AEthelmearc.org website. We will talk about this in a moment.)
– All Group Seneschals
– AEANS
-AELeads
– Chatelaine
– Coins (Moneyers Guild)
– Coppertree
– Heraldry (We will talk about this in a moment)
– Hunters Home
– Kings Crossing
– Marshal (Earl Marshal — We will talk about this in a moment)
– Myrkfaelinn
– Webminister
– Kingdom Announcement and Discussion Lists (We will talk about this in a moment)

Additionally, the “ae.” section of emails will be going away with this move to Google. For example, in the past to reach the King you would type the following email: ae.king@aethelmearc.org. After the move, this will become king@aethelmearc.org. All Kingdom hosted email addresses (as listed above) will follow suit. If an email is sent to ae.****@aethelmearc.org, after the switch, it will bounce. We update all information on the Kingdom Website as quickly as possible after the changeover to reflect accurate information.

Rapier Email Addresses

In addition, all email addresses that had fencing noted in the address (specifically for aethelmearc.org, NOT for marshal.aethelmearc.net) will be updated to rapier. If an email is sent to ae.region1fencing@aethelmearc.org, after the switch, it will bounce. Everyone will be notified before the switch occurs [which is slated for December 12, but will be reposted next week] and after the switch has taken place.

Heraldry Website and Email Addresses

The AEHeralds site will be joining the Kingdom server and AEHeralds.net will be switched to heraldry.aethelmearc.org. All emails that are associated with aeheralds.net will be changed to reflect the new ending once this change takes place. Please note, after this change if an email is sent to ****@aeheralds.net it will bounce. Everyone will be notified before the switch occurs and after the switch has taken place.
Marshal: The Marshal site will be switching domain endings from marshal.aethelmearc.net to marshal.aethelmearc.org. All emails that are associated with marshal.aethelmearc.net will be changed to reflect the new ending once this change takes place. Please note, after this change if an email is sent to ****@marshal.aethelmearc.net it will bounce. Everyone will be notified before the switch occurs and after the switch has taken place.

Kingdom Announcement and Discussion Lists

These lists are being retired from our longtime host at CMU and will open as Google Groups. We are attempting to move all the email addresses over to the new groups for those who are already members or either or both of the Kingdom lists. The new addresses for sending to these lists will be announcements@aethelmearc.org and discussion@aethelmearc.org. If you are not currently on either or both of these lists and would like to be, please let us know at ae.google@aethelmearc.org (until the switch, then remove the “ae.”), and we will gladly add you to either or both of these lists. You do not need to have an aethelmearc.org email address in order to be on these lists.

People with Multiple Accounts

For any position that has 2 related positions, which have corresponding emails in 2 separate subdomains: In these cases, we are creating aliases so you can use the same account for either email account. For an example of this, after changes go into effect, region1rapier@aethelmearc.org and region1rapier@marshal.aethelmearc.org will feed to the same account.

For any person that has 2 (or more) unrelated positions: Please note that you will have a separate Google account for each of these positions and will need to log in/out of these accounts to access specific information.
A few quick Q&As:

Q & A

What if my Group/Order would like email addresses with an AEthelmearc subdomain?
We can do this! Please have your seneschal email ae.google@aethelmearc.org (until the switch, then remove the “ae.”) and we can talk about specifics and work on this.

What about me? Can I get an aethelmearc.org Google Account/email address?
At some point in January we will be opening up our thelmearc Google Account Request Form for all paid members in Æthelmearc to create an Google account on our server. This will allow you to have an email address ending in aethelmearc.org and space in Google Docs. Please stay tuned for more specific information.

What if I don’t know how to use Google?
Please know we have documentation available and we will have online trainings available on Zoom. Please stay tuned for more information.

Can I easily log in and out of “unrelated” accounts?
Yes! We will have documentation available for logging into and switching between multiple Google accounts.

Can I be logged into my personal Google account and an AEthelmearc Google account simultaneously?
Yes! We will have documentation available for logging into and switching between multiple Google accounts.

Æthelmearc Documents Moving to Google Docs

The second subject of note — the Kingdom Doc Server has been moved to Æthelmearc’s Google Docs account. All Kingdom-hosted documents on the Kingdom website should reflect this change. Please let me know (ae.webminister@aethelmearc.org — until the switch, then remove the “ae.”) if something is not correct so it can be remedied.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at ae.webminister@aethelemearc.org (or during the downtime next week at ae.webminister@apospirit.net).

Thank you and in service to the Kingdom,

Baroness Amalie
AE Webminister

New Silver Buccle Kingdom Herald Appointed

10 Tuesday Nov 2020

Silver Buccle

Greetings Fair Æthelmearc from Baron Brandubh O’donnghaile, Silver Buccle Herald.

The call for letters for Silver Buccle Herald has closed, and the Kingdom received many letters of intent from interested members of the Kingdom wishing to serve in this office.  I met with Their Majesties Maynard and Laidain to review all applications, and after deliberation we chose Don Jorundr hinn rotinn to serve as the next Silver Buccle Herald of Æthelmearc.  Jorundr has served as Comet Pursuivant of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands, and will be stepping down from his Deputy Kingdom Office of Golden Alce Herald in order to take the Kingdom Office of Silver Buccle.

At this point, I name him Kingdom Deputy Sigil Herald to serve as the
Emergency Deputy to Silver Buccle.  Jorundr will hold the Office of Sigil
Herald until Their Majesties’s Court at Æcademy in January when the office
will be officially transferred.  Congratulations to Don Jorundr, and thank
you to all of those who had applied for the Office.

Cheers,
Brandubh, Silver Buccle
