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>
