8<p>I am giving my very first
9<a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/">LibrePlanet</a> talk today on
10March 20th. I will be talking about
11<a href="https://jami.net">Jami</a>, the GNU package for universal
12communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users.
13I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing
14important and exciting development news from the Jami team about
15<a href="https://jami.net/together-the-new-version-of-jami-and-a-new-step-forward/">rendezvous
16points</a>, <a href="https://jami.biz/jams-user-guide">JAMS</a>,
17the <a href="https://jami.net/plugins-sdk">plugin SDK</a>,
18<a href="https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group-conversations">Swarm
19chats</a>, and more; and how these features each help empower users to
20communicate with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or
21freedom.</p>

23<p>Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the
24<a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4285">LibrePlanet
252021's speakers</a> page:

27<blockquote id="abstract">
28<p>Jami is free software for universal communication that respects the
29freedoms and privacy of its users. Jami is an official GNU package
30with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual communications,
31along with a series of end-user applications for audio/video calling
32and conferencing, text messaging, and file transfer.</p>
33
34<p>With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has
35become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more
36people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with
37their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed by
38many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and freedom of
39users.</p>
40
41<p>This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly
42distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how it
43differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers
44users.</p>
