  • CALON Development Volunteers Wanted

    Greetings 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

  • War of the Phoenix sign-up

    Warm greetings to the People of the Heartland!
    In days long past, the warriors of Calontir counted the days between the longest night of the year and the moment we travelled together to the burning sands of Estrella, for it was the thought of the warm sun on our faces and the anticipation of epic battles such as our stand at Phaedra’s Gate or the unruly Charge of the Peasant Rabble that carried us through the cold winter.
    Those days are now but stories.  But new stories are waiting to be written.  Stories that we will write together.
    Their Highnesses will be accompanying Us to War of the Phoenix, which is rising as a worthy successor to Estrella.  Will you join Us to stand beside Our eternal friends, the Outlands?
    If you are traveling to Phoenix, please let us know by adding your name to the sign-up here:  https://www.calontir.org/war-council/

    This will help us pool resources, arrange transportation, and plan.
    ~David and Rhianwen~
