   \begin{center}
-  Simplification might lead {\it more people} to use banking APIs,
-  resulting in {\it more importance} in decision processes.
+  LibEuFin is an Open Source service and API that allows developers
+  communities and SMEs to programmatically access their bank accounts.
+
+  It abstracts over complex legacy APIs and provides a bank sandbox
+  to make testing cheap and easy.

+\begin{frame}{Current status}
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item One major protocol (EBICS) implemented
+    \item Current code works with real GLS bank account!
+    \item Should work with all banks of the German Credit Union (DK)
+    \item Ongoing integration with Taler (former PF project).

+\begin{frame}{Challenges}
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Slow communication with banks.
+    \item Difficult protocols and documentations.
+    \item Subscriber initiation process.
+    \item No testing environment available.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}{Successes}
   \begin{itemize}
-    \item Integration with Taler and GnuCash.
-    \item Taler (a former Prototype fund project) found {\it further} funding 
for the next two years!
+    \item Milestones estimation was (almost!) accurate.
+    \item Our approach to testing (develop sandbox first) was successful: Real 
bank access
+          worked on first try, after 4 months of development.

-\begin{frame}{Final remark}
+\begin{frame}{What did we learn?}
   \begin{center}
   We believe that \textbf{simplicity} is the key for any system to
   properly function, and that is LibEuFin primary goal.
