+Communicating is a basic human need, and today some kind of
+computer-mediated communication is a requirement for most people,
+especially those in this room.
+
+With *everything* that is happening, it's now more important than ever
+that these means of communication aren't controlled by entities that
+can't be trusted, whether because they can stop providing the service at
+any given time or worse because they are going to abuse it in order to
+extract more profit.
+
+If only there was a well established chat system based on some standard
+developed by multiple entities, with all of the features one expects
+from a chat system but federated so that one can choose between many
+different and independent providers, or even self-hosting.
+
+But wait, it does exist!
+
+I'm not talking about IRC, I'm talking about XMPP!
