LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users

+

by bandali +on March 20, 2021 (last update: March 21, 2021) +(also in plain text)

+ +

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.

+
+ +

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 LibrePlanet 2021 +- Live page. Attendance is gratis (no cost), and you can register +at https://u.fsf.org/lp21-sp.

+ +
