The Six Degrees of Francis Bacon project, in association with Carnegie Mellon University and the Folger Shakespeare Library, invites early modernists, digital humanists, designers, and students to participate in Re-Designing Bacon, a half-day, multi-site participatory event dedicated to exploring and testing a major re-design of the Six Degrees of Francis Bacon website. Taking place both online and in person on Friday, November 17th, the event will begin at 12:00 noon EST. Participants in this meetup and add-a-thon will learn how to explore the new, re-designed network and to add people, groups, and relationships to SixDegreesofFrancisBacon.com before joining with other participants to test features, log bugs, and help enrich the collaborative picture of the social networks of early modern Britain.
