Note that the Google Developer account on G+ mentioned that they are going to avoid the "registration rush" this year. Supposedly there will be plenty of time between the I/O registration opening and any deadline, and AFAIK it's not going to be on a first-come, first-serve basis like last year. So, settle down, no need to stalk their online accounts all hours of the day. :-)
