Hi, self-scheduling has now been setup for Sunday on the Front-Desk-window. You can add your self-scheduled session by writing on the window from the outside. Please don't write from inside the Front-Desk.
Make sure to submit your talk via https://debconf17.debconf.org/talks/new/ first and add the wafer ID to the slot, plus whatever you want attendees to see.
