| | 1 | LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users |
| | 2 | ------------------------------------------------ |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | I am giving my very first LibrePlanet[1] talk today on March 20th. |
| | 5 | I will be talking about Jami[2], the GNU package for universal |
| | 6 | communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users. |
| | 7 | I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing |
| | 8 | important and exciting development news from the Jami team about |
| | 9 | rendezvous points[3], JAMS[4], the plugin SDK[5], Swarm chats[6], |
| | 10 | and more; and how these features help empower users to communicate |
| | 11 | with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or freedom. |

| | 21 | 2021's speakers page[7]: |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | Jami is free software for universal communication that respects |
| | 24 | the freedoms and privacy of its users. Jami is an official GNU |
| | 25 | package with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual |
| | 26 | communications, along with a series of end-user applications for |
| | 27 | audio/video calling and conferencing, text messaging, and file |
| | 28 | transfer. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has |
| | 31 | become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more |
| | 32 | people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate |
| | 33 | with their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been |
| | 34 | followed by many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and |
| | 35 | freedom of users. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly |
| | 38 | distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how |
| | 39 | it differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers |
| | 40 | users. |
