The calendars we watch
This page is also an intake pipe. Each refresh re-reads these 13 calendars and announcement pages; a new event page found on one of them is scraped, and any arXiv link on it becomes a paper record, any GitHub link a repo candidate, and any recurring calendar a candidate reading club. 7 of the 13 are Luma calendars, which is where the community actually posts.

For agents
The calendar is plain JSON at /data/calendar.json (CORS open, no key), an iCalendar feed at /events.ics, and a list_industry_events tool on the MCP endpoint. Each event carries its official URL, the source URL its dates were read from, and the date we last checked it — verify against the source, not against us.
