-Here is the abstract for my talk, also available on the LibrePlanet
-2021's speakers page[7]:
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
