  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>
