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. + +[7] https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4285 + +I have been an attendee of LibrePlanet for some years, and am very +excited to be giving my first ever talk at LibrePlanet 2021 this year! +You can watch my talk and other speakers' talks live this weekend, +from the https://libreplanet.org/2021/live/ page.
