This post serves a two-fold purpose. First of all, advertising the following two online seminars that are relevant to the audience of this website:

• D.A.N.C.E. seminar: Derived And NonCommutative Enthusiasts
• DOGS seminar: Derived Obsessed Graduate Students

Both are aimed at junior people, the latter maybe even more so than the former. If you are young, and work in an area of mathematics that makes you read this website, go check them out!

The second purpose is to explain that this website is still being updated, although the updates have been restricted to the conferences page. If you have events to announce, just get in touch!

I have just gone through the listing of conferences, removing cancelled conferences, and updating the postponed ones (at least those which have new dates).

Let me know if I have missed an event or if you notice a mistake. Online-only events are also very welcome of course!

I've been regularly updating the conferences list, in case you were wondering whether this website sees any activity. Aside from that there is nothing new.

Except that I have now decorated all locations with a little flag. Because vexillology is fun!

If you are interested in keeping up-to-date with the conferences list and you wish to get a notification each time a conference is added, it turns out that GitHub provides an Atom feed for the file where all conferences are collected. It suffices to add this link to your feed reader (if you still use such a thing).

It turns out that they do not list this file as an Atom feed for the conferences.yml file on the commits page of this file. So maybe this functionality will break at some point.

The less tech-savvy people can also click on the Last updated date on the conference list, to go to the commits page of the relevant file, and figure out themselves which conferences are new. Please note that this date is not entirely correct, in the sense that it is not based on changes to the relevant file, but to all files.

It turns out that there is a website similar to this one, tailored towards less algebraic (and hence more analytic) flavours of noncommutative geometry. It can be found at noncommutativegeometry.nl, and it has been around already for a few years now. It is maintained by Walter van Suijlekom.

They feature a blog containing conference announcements, and a list of interesting background articles. I have been thinking about compiling a similar list for noncommutative algebraic geometry, but that hasn't happened yet.
