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
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Developer_Summit_2015#How_to_sched…
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!
