| 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>, |
| 17 | the <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 |
| 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> |
| 22 | |
| 23 | <p>Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the |
| 24 | <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4285">LibrePlanet |
| 25 | 2021's speakers</a> page: |

| 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> |
