all,<br>
<br>
I would like to introduce you to Cozy, a project that
fit well with the Freedombox spirit. We started Cozy
because we were annoyed by the fact that our personal data
were spread among major cloud company silos. We wanted to
take the full potential out of our data without worrying
about privacy issues.<br>
<br>
To solve that, we built a personal PaaS that is simple to
use and allows everyone to host and build easily web
applications that collaborate around their personal data.
It's aimed to be run on top of a linux distribution and
the software is libre and open-source. About who is behind
the project, it is supported by a startup, Cozy Cloud,
part of the Mozilla WebFWD accelerator (our business model
is based on professional services around the solution).<br>
<br>
Yesterday, we published our first release, name "Snowden",
as a tribute to the person the NSA hates the most! He
provided us with proofs of what we have suspected: the
cloud is not a paradise. It has helped us tremendously in
explaining the benefits of Cozy, we are grateful for his
work. If you want to give it a try, you will find
informations in the links below.<br>
NB: This first version only includes the core module. The
available applications (contacts, calendar, photos...)
still require some work.<br>

If you see some way we could join our force with the
Freedom Box project, let us know we would be glad to work
together!<br>

<div>Cozy cloud looks pretty awesome!<br>

<div>Andrei Sambra ( who works on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://rww.io">rww.io</a> and <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://data.fm">data.fm</a>
) was saying that he met up with some of the cozy cloud
developers and brain stormed how the best features of
these two projects could be combined.<br>

You are right, we met Andrei and he provided us good advice on how
improving Cozy! <br>

Yes, orginally, we are web developers and it would be great to
discuss/work with security/backend experts to see how Cozy could fit
with the standards proposed by the FreedomBox. Moreover, all our
apps provide REST API, so CLIs could be built too.<br>

<div>I think this may be the job of one full time developer
and imho would be a great match for freedombox. (A
similar argument applies to OwnCloud, but I suspect that
would be a harder integration)<br>

Owncloud is a great project too. People often compare us to them but
they have a different approach and we believe that the more there is
alternative the better it is. An option that would allow the Freedom
Box user to chose one of them or both, would be great.<br>
