  57 <h1>LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users</h1>
  58 <p>by <a href="https://bndl.org"><b>bandali</b></a>
  59 on March 20, 2021 <small>(last update: March 21, 2021)

  61
  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>
  99 </blockquote>
