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

+excited to be giving my first ever talk at LibrePlanet 2021 this year!
