+LibrePlanet 2021: Jami and how it empowers users
+------------------------------------------------
+
+I am giving my very first LibrePlanet[1] talk today on March 20th.
+I will be talking about Jami[2], 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
+rendezvous points[3], JAMS[4], the plugin SDK[5], Swarm chats[6],
+and more; and how these features help empower users to communicate
+with their loved ones without sacrificing their privacy or freedom.

+
+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.
