The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu published draft guidance on the #CyberResilienceAct, including a detailed chapter on #FOSS. EC staff has worked on these and previous drafts for quite a while, and have been open for concerns/clarification from #opensource community members. If this topic interests you, be sure to have a look. I would be interested to hear your thoughts, I’ll likely write up some feedback.
Public comment open till March 31st.
So, turns out the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu consultation for an EU Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy was the 2nd most popular consultation in the history of DG CNECT.
Happy reading @HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu and the folks at CNECT.
Many of us in #FOSS are quite curious what you’ll come up with.
@liw@toot.liw.fi hi Lars, it seems the Finnish parliament is discussing its local implementation of the CRA: https://www.eduskunta.fi/SV/vaski/HallituksenEsitys/Sidor/RP_179+2025.aspx
Notably, it appears fines are proposed for Open Source Stewards, where the CRA specifically exempted them. This raises two questions: 1) what past traumatic event may be the cause of this idea? 2) how would this not be in conflict with the CRA.
Any chance you have (local friends that have) interest in the intersection of FOSS and politics and could shine a light?

Confidence inspiring.
The concentration of Dutch gov e-mail in Exchange Online is such a shit show. That is even before you consider any geopolitical angle. We’re lucky Microsoft’s cloud only does e-mail.
Oh wait.
Have opinions about an attestation mechanism for the CRA, perhaps as means to fund #opensource? Do consider responding to a survey that is being run by @fsfe@mastodon.social and Germany’s BSI:
