8 | <p>I am giving my very first | |
9 | <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/">LibrePlanet</a> talk today on | |
10 | March 20th. I will be talking about | |
11 | <a href="https://jami.net">Jami</a>, the GNU package for universal | |
12 | communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users. | |
13 | I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing | |
14 | important 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 | |
16 | points</a>, <a href="https://jami.biz/jams-user-guide">JAMS</a>, | |

18 | <a href="https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group-conversations">Swarm | |
19 | chats</a>, and more; and how these features each help empower users to | |
20 | communicate with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or | |
21 | freedom.</p> | |

23 | <p>Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the | |

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