   5 I am giving my very first LibrePlanet[1] talk today on March 20th.
   6 I will be talking about Jami[2], the GNU package for universal
   7 communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users.
   8 I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing
   9 important and exciting development news from the Jami team about
  10 rendezvous points[3], JAMS[4], the plugin SDK[5], Swarm chats[6],
  11 and more; and how these features help empower users to communicate
  12 with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or freedom.

  22 2021's speakers page[7]:

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