Thanks for getting this out, Quim! Is there a deadline for getting sessions scheduled?
No deadline, but the question is: do you want to reach to a wide audience, maybe even to a full main room?
If you have a session seeking or promoting togetherness (that is, going beyond the usual boundaries of your project / team) then the sooner the better. If you are seeking to meet face to face with the usual suspects that already work on some topic online, then you can leave it to the list minute if you wish.
The thing is, we are still missing the through-provoking sessions about transversal topics where we are stuck or have little progress. Those session could have come from the Architecture Committee or the WMF Engineering management, but the fact is that we are still not there. Who else wants to step in?

A draft version of the MediaWiki Developer Summit 2015 (San Francisco, January 26-27) is available at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Developer_Summit_2015#Schedule
You will see some slots pre-scheduled for three main topics: Mobile, Editing, and Service Oriented Architecture. There are some pre-scheduled sessions proposed by the Architecture Committee and the Product team,
plus
the opening and wrap-up sessions.
There are many slots available, and at this point almost everything is flexible and negotiable. To book your session, check

As an experiment, we are linking all sessions to a corresponding Phabricator task. The goal is to ease documentation and discussion before and after the summit, linking each session to related tasks and projects. This is also a way to add the preparation of the session to your personal and team backlogs.
Allocate time to prepare your sessions, and encourage discussion and collaboration before and after the event. Let's make the most out of this unique MediaWiki gathering!
