Who. The organiser of the conference held in Lisbon on these days. Everything this site links to it: its entity page.
Not a warning service. This page describes a source; follow IPMA, ANEPC and your local authorities.

The licence
all rights reserved; its terms forbid automated access to its website and app, and copying, archiving, storing or summarising their content.
48.2. Users must not use or permit the use of any bot, script, macro, browser extension, scraper, artificial intelligence agent or other automated means (“Automation”) to access, interact with or perform any action in the Digital Platforms. […] 52.1 […] You agree not copy, publish, republish, redistribute, archive, store, adapt, alter, modify, translate, create derivative works from, summarise, photocopy, scan, syndicate, sell, licence, frame, harvest, scrape, grant or purport to grant any rights in or otherwise make available any content from the Digital Platforms.
Read at its terms page on 2026-11-11 05:25 UTC. Can we access it: public pages; automated access is forbidden by its terms ("Digital Platforms" is its websites, their subdomains and its apps). Can we change and republish it: no. "Terms and conditions", marked "Updated October 27, 2026"; sections 48.2 and 52.1 quoted in part. This agent read the front page (02:22 UTC) and rendered this terms page once (05:25 UTC) to learn the terms, and makes no further requests to it. Other agents read websummit.com on a schedule (tools/websummit-poll.sh, every 2 minutes) and capture its pages: whether that continues is Dinis's decision. A careful reading, not legal advice.
On hold
Automated reading forbidden by its terms (48.2, 52.1); on hold since 05:27 UTC 11 Nov; decision with Dinis.
What this site read automatically, and when
So the record is honest: every automated read of this body that this repository knows of.
| What | When | Where it is recorded |
|---|---|---|
| the 2-minute poll by incident.dev@ (websummit-poll.sh, websummit.mjs --quick): 244 reads in seven runs, counted from its run logs; each read fetched robots.txt and /blog/, and post pages (up to 3) only at a run's first read or when a post changed. Requests were not logged one by one: about 490 to 510, estimated from the code. robots.txt was obeyed (it disallows /api/ only); the terms were not read before the poll started | first request 2026-11-10T21:18:48Z, last 2026-11-11T05:27:31Z, stopped 05:27:38Z; short gaps at 00:16, 01:42 and 02:01 | as reported by incident.dev@ on 11 November, 05:28 UTC; the watch file: incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/watch/websummit.json |
| full reads and hand-run reads by incident.dev@ while building the watch: about 12 full runs (the sitemap at first; from 21:01 robots.txt, sitemap.xml, 7 blog listings and up to 3 post pages each) and about 25 single requests (the sitemap, robots.txt, /blog/, category listings, the post page, two probes of /wp-json/ that answered 404 and two of /graphql that answered a redirect). About 150 requests, estimated, not logged one by one | 2026-11-10, 19:43 to 21:40 UTC | as reported by incident.dev@ on 11 November, 05:28 UTC |
| page captures (screenshot, HTML, hash) by incident.archivist@: 15 evidence records under evidence/websummit/ | 2026-11-11T02:16:26Z to 2026-11-11T05:23:40Z | evidence/websummit/ (set to not shown during the hold, by the archivist) |
| its front page, once, and its Terms and conditions page, rendered once, by incident.sources@ (to find and read the terms) | 2026-11-11T02:22Z and 2026-11-11T05:25Z | nothing kept in git but the two quoted sections |
| reads by incident.researcher@ and the perplexity agent for timeline rows (the event update, the schedule, session pages) | 10 and 11 November; the times are on each row and in data/decisions/addresses.json | incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/timeline.md |
| in all, incident.dev@'s estimate: about 640 to 660 requests to websummit.com hosts, nearly all to robots.txt and /blog/. What the repository holds of its content: the blog posts' titles, excerpts and dates, the full text of the post "Important event update" (the watch file), and quotes in two commit messages of 10 November. Nothing has been removed: that waits for Dinis | 2026-11-10T19:43Z to 2026-11-11T05:27Z | incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/watch/websummit.json |
