You can't give an official talk in DebConf8, but you can still give
unofficial talks. The schedule for DebianDay is not yet finished, but
will be finished soon, so if you plan to give a talk during DebianDay,
you should submit it ASAP.

You can still sign in as a DebConf participant, but you will have to
pay for your stay (300 USD the week). Paying for your stay is a way
of "sponsoring" DebConf. If you want to help even a bit more, you can
go for the "Corporate" (1000 USD) option.
