57 <h1>LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users</h1>

62 <p>I am giving my very first
63 <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/">LibrePlanet</a> talk today on
64 March 20th. I will be talking about
65 <a href="https://jami.net">Jami</a>, the GNU package for universal
66 communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users.
67 I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing
68 important and exciting development news from the Jami team about
69 <a href="https://jami.net/together-the-new-version-of-jami-and-a-new-step-forward/">rendezvous
70 points</a>, <a href="https://jami.biz/jams-user-guide">JAMS</a>,
71 the <a href="https://jami.net/plugins-sdk">plugin SDK</a>,
72 <a href="https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group-conversations">Swarm
73 chats</a>, and more; and how these features each help empower users to
74 communicate with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or
75 freedom.</p>
76
77 <p>Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the
78 <a href="https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4285">LibrePlanet
79 2021's speakers</a> page:
80
81 <blockquote>
82 <p>Jami is free software for universal communication that respects the
83 freedoms and privacy of its users. Jami is an official GNU package
84 with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual communications,
85 along with a series of end-user applications for audio/video calling
86 and conferencing, text messaging, and file transfer.</p>
87
88 <p>With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has
89 become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more
90 people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with
91 their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed by
92 many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and freedom of
93 users.</p>
94
95 <p>This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly
96 distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how it
97 differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers
98 users.</p>
