1 LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users
2 ------------------------------------------------
3
4 I am giving my very first LibrePlanet[1] talk today on March 20th.
5 I will be talking about Jami[2], the GNU package for universal
6 communication that respects the freedoms and privacy of its users.
7 I'll be giving an introduction to Jami and its architecture, sharing
8 important and exciting development news from the Jami team about
9 rendezvous points[3], JAMS[4], the plugin SDK[5], Swarm chats[6],
10 and more; and how these features help empower users to communicate
11 with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or freedom.

23 Jami is free software for universal communication that respects
24 the freedoms and privacy of its users. Jami is an official GNU
25 package with a main goal of providing a framework for virtual
26 communications, along with a series of end-user applications for
27 audio/video calling and conferencing, text messaging, and file
28 transfer.

30 With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has
31 become the norm for many workers around the world. More and more
32 people are using videoconferencing tools to work or communicate
33 with their loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been
34 followed by many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and
35 freedom of users.
36
37 This talk gives an introduction to Jami, a free/libre, truly
38 distributed, and peer-to-peer solution, and explains why and how
39 it differs from all other existing solutions and how it empowers
40 users.
