Karen Sandler is the executive director of the Software Freedom Conservancy, former executive director of the GNOME Foundation, an attorney, and former general counsel of the Software Freedom Law Center. Columbia Law School graduate, Karen has extensive legal experience with open source licenses as well as keen insight in community involvement. While executive director at the GNOME foundation, she kickstarted the Outreachy project which has since grown in scope beyond women in GNOME, supporting various minorities getting involved in a wide range of Free and Open Source communities through sponsored internships. Karen will discuss what makes open source projects so successful – licensing, technology and people have come together in a way which has transformed the world. What makes it tick?
