+\frametitle{Free Electrons: not a training company}
+  Free Electrons is an engineering company, not a training company
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item All our trainers are engineers with extensive on-the-job experience
+    \item We spend most of our time on customer projects, and share this
+          experience in our training sessions.
+    \item We also spend a lot of time contributing to the user and developer
+          community, by contributing to projects (such as the Linux kernel,
+          Buildroot and Barebox), by sharing technical information (through
+          blog posts and training materials), and by speaking at conferences.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Free Electrons at a glance}
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Created in 2004
+    \item Locations: Orange, Toulouse, Saint Etienne / Lyon (France)

+          See \url{http://free-electrons.com/company/customers/}
+    \item Head count: 6 (September 2012) \\
+	  Only Free Software enthousiasts!
+    \item Focus: Embedded Linux, Linux kernel, Android
+          Free Software / Open Source
+          for embedded and real-time systems.
+    \item Activities: development, training, consulting, technical
+          support.
+    \item Added value: get the best of the user and development
+          community and the resources it offers.

+\frametitle{Free Electrons: what's special}
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Engineers recruited in the heart of the embedded Linux
+   	  developer community.
+    \item We are very familiar with the best solutions the
+          community offers to product developers.
+    \item Contributing as much as possible to the community:
+          code, documentation, knowledge sharing, financial support.
+    \item All our engineers always go to the top technical
+          conferences. We know other developers very well.
+    \item Nothing proprietary in Free Electrons. Everything we
+          produce for our company is shared and transparent
+          (in particular training materials and even evaluations
+          from all our training sessions!).
