- -I am giving my very first -LibrePlanet talk today on -March 20th. I will be talking about -Jami, 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, JAMS, -the plugin SDK, -Swarm -chats, and more; and how these features each 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:
- --- -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.
