+ +I am giving my very first +LibrePlanet talk today on +March 20th. I will be talking about +Jami, the GNU package for universal +communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users. +I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing +important and exciting development news from the Jami team about +rendezvous +points, JAMS, +the plugin SDK, +Swarm +chats, and more; and how these features each help empower users to +communicate with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or +freedom.
+ +Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the +LibrePlanet +2021's speakers page:
+ +++ +Jami is free software for universal communication that respects the +freedoms and privacy of its users. 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.
+ +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.
+ +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.
