   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>
