In my session, I will show you how to install and configure Varnish to play along with Pressflow/Drupal. My presentation will be down to earth, hands-on, and for beginners and intermediates who don't fear the command line but has no previous experience of Varnish.

As I understand it, Poul-Henning Kamp's session will look on Varnish from an architectural point of view, while my session will approach Varnish from a practitioners angle.
‧
In my opinion, the two sessions are targeting two different audiences. They are not competing. They complement each other.
