+# Cozy, a platform to make the personal server mainstream
+
+One of the most common recommandation to protect your privacy on the web is to
+host your services on your own hardware. Unfortunately, that practice is too
+complex for most people. It looks like privacy protection is not a feature that
+is motivating enough to jump into the self-hosting world.
+
+That's why Cozy is born. Cozy is a platform that allows anyone to manage his
+own server as easily as a smartphone. Its architecture is original in two way:
+First, it's built like a PaaS, so anyone can build its own web app for the
+platform without learning a fancy SDK. Second, applications share the same
+datastore that syncs easily with any device. 
+We believe that, by making the personal server easily manageable and by
+providing advanced services that syncs well, we could solve the self-hosting
+adoption problem and provide people with a better web experience.
+
+That talk will be the opportunity to explain better why we make Cozy,
+to see in details how Cozy works under the hood and to show you a short demo of
+the platform and its apps.
