| 28 | <p>by <a href="https://bndl.org"><b>bandali</b></a> |
| 29 | on March 20, 2021 <small>(last update: March 21, 2021) |
| 30 | (also in <a href="libreplanet-2021.txt">plain text</a>)</small></p> |
| 31 | |
| 32 | <p>I am giving my very first |
| 33 | <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/">LibrePlanet</a> talk today on |
| 34 | March 20th. I will be talking about |
| 35 | <a href="https://jami.net">Jami</a>, the GNU package for universal |
| 36 | communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users. |
| 37 | I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing |
| 38 | important and exciting development news from the Jami team about |
| 39 | <a href="https://jami.net/together-the-new-version-of-jami-and-a-new-step-forward/">rendezvous |
| 40 | points</a>, <a href="https://jami.biz/jams-user-guide">JAMS</a>, |
| 41 | the <a href="https://jami.net/plugins-sdk">plugin SDK</a>, |
| 42 | <a href="https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group-conversations">Swarm |
| 43 | chats</a>, and more; and how these features each help empower users to |
| 44 | communicate with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or |
| 45 | freedom.</p> |
| 46 | |
| 47 | <p>Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the |
| 48 | <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4285">LibrePlanet |
| 49 | 2021's speakers</a> page:</p> |
| 50 | |
| 51 | <blockquote> |
| 52 | <p>Jami is free software for universal communication that respects the |
| 53 | freedoms and privacy of its users. Jami is an official GNU package |
| 54 | with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual communications, |
| 55 | along with a series of end-user applications for audio/video calling |
| 56 | and conferencing, text messaging, and file transfer.</p> |
| 57 | |
| 58 | <p>With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has |
| 59 | become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more |
| 60 | people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with |
| 61 | their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed by |
| 62 | many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and freedom of |
| 63 | users.</p> |
| 64 | |
| 65 | <p>This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly |
| 66 | distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how it |
| 67 | differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers |
| 68 | users.</p> |
| 69 | </blockquote> |
| 70 | |

| 72 | excited to be giving my first ever talk at LibrePlanet 2021 this year! |
