ESIs can help you cache personalised pages for logged-in users. Ideas for the best ways to use ESIs and Varnish to get the best performance.

How to use Varnish with Drupal
Writing good VCLs
Using ESI, and serving micro-content (individual blocks, panes...)
Delivering micro-content via ESI with minimum bootstrap overhead
Other approaches to block-delivery via ESI (memcache, using David Straus' experimental kargo-event handlers, ???)

And any other ideas!

The ESI module (http://drupal.org/project/esi) will be released shortly, so there should be code to play with too.

Let's discuss Drupal adoption by the public sector in Europe - from intergovernmental to federal to state/local.

As an open source platform and content management system (CMS) for building dynamic web sites, Drupal is establishing itself as a leader among social software solutions for governmental, intergovernmental, and nongovernmental organizations. Having already gained a small but significant share of the domestic and worldwide public sector CMS market, the solution appears on-track for continued growth.
