+
+00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.720
+Karen Sandler is a lawyer
+
+00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.520
+and Executive Director
+of the Software Freedom Conservancy,
+
+00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.720
+a non-profit organisation
+devoted to ethical technology
+
+00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.840
+and free and open source software.
+
+00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:20.480
+Karen Sandler is an adjunct lecturer
+at Colombia Law School, where she studied,
+
+00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.640
+and is a visiting professor
+
+00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.400
+at the University of California,
+Santa Cruz.
+
+00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:29.280
+In addition to her law degree, she holds
+a Bachelor of Science in Engineering
+
+00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:40.840
+from the Cooper Union
+for the Advancement of Science and Art.
+
+00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.400
+Karen Sandler is an American lawyer
+and software expert
+
+00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:49.800
+who promotes
+free and open source software.
+
+00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:53.760
+That's software whose source code
+is freely available to consult,
+
+00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:58.640
+adapt and disseminate.
+
+00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.160
+If the coronavirus crisis
+made one thing clear,
+
+00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:06.440
+it’s that software is fundamental
+to our society.
+
+00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:11.120
+We really need it,
+certainly in the past few years.
+
+00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.720
+That goes even more for medical software,
+
+00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:18.240
+which gives people the opportunity
+to lead a normal life,
+
+00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:21.640
+even if they have a certain illness
+or condition.
+
+00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.240
+For example, Karen Sandler's pacemaker.
+
+00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.880
+If she didn’t have one,
+she’d be at greater risk,
+
+00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:30.640
+and she would never have been able
+to do what she's doing now.
+
+00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.600
+And she's certainly not alone.
+
+00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:37.040
+There are others in similar situations.
+
+00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.840
+She had a pacemaker put in,
+
+00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.200
+and when she wanted to find out
+if it was safe and secure,
+
+00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.280
+she also wanted to see its source code.
+
+00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.320
+Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible,
+
+00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:58.400
+which demonstrates the importance
+of free and open source software.
+
+00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.440
+If the source code for software
+is in the hands of one company,
+
+00:02:03.440 --> 00:02:07.400
+then we're all dependent
+on that company's goodwill.
+
+00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.800
+They can say of their own accord: 
+we'll solve this, not that.
+
+00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.680
+We have the means to do this,
+but not that.
+
+00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.480
+A company can always go bankrupt,
+the source code then disappears,
+
+00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:19.920
+and society can no longer use it.
+
+00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:23.240
+That’s what open and free software is all about.
+
+00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.440
+Anyone can access the source code,
+and everyone can disseminate it.
+
+00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:33.640
+And that's what Karen Sandler stands for.
+
+00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:40.560
+Karen Sandler also fights discrimination
+in the world of technology
+
+00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.560
+and pushes for more inclusivity
+
+00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.800
+through the programme Outreachy,
+amongst other efforts.
+
+00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.600
+Outreachy organises internships
+for minorities or women,
+
+00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:57.120
+to help them get more involved in the world
+of technology and software.
+
+00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.120
+Karen Sandler inspires us, as students,
+because she is ambitious
+
+00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.640
+and fights passionately for her cause.
+
+00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.880
+Her personal story about the pacemaker
+
+00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:11.160
+actually serves as a metaphor
+for all the technology and software
+
+00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:15.560
+we rely on in modern society.
+
+00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.280
+Its safety is of major importance.
+
+00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.920
+It’s essential for software
+to be free and open source,
+
+00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:27.320
+so we can check whether it's safe
+
+00:03:27.320 --> 00:03:33.520
+and see whether there is
+any room for improvement.
+
+00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.600
+For all of these reasons, Rector,
+
+00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:38.680
+on behalf of the Academic Council,
+we request
+
+00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.200
+that you grant Karen Sandler
+the KU Leuven honorary doctorate.
+
