Jami is an official GNU package +with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual communications, +along with a series of end-user applications for audio/video calling +and conferencing, text messaging, and file transfer.</p> + +<p>With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has +become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more +people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with +their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed by +many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and freedom of +users.</p> + +<p>This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly +distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how it +differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers +users.</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>I have been an attendee of LibrePlanet for some years, and am very +excited to be giving my first ever talk at LibrePlanet 2021 this year! +You can watch my talk and other speakers' talks live this weekend, +from the <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/live/">LibrePlanet 2021 +- Live</a> page.
